1) 30m. Choose one of the easy lines up from behind the right hand shoulder of the mini
dome, or scamble up. Then scamble up 30m to bottom of the main gully/chimney
where the real climbing begins.
2) 30m. Climb the VDiff steepening gully that leads to the chimney.
3) 25m. Ascend the chimney proper using traditional techniques. Some small placements
for gear can be found on left side. Belay at the top and check clothing for damages.
4) 60m. Follow the shallow v-groove on good rock and pad up to top.
