1) Avoid shield on R by an awkward high step. Then trend easily L up slabs to belay below the first gendarme (The lion, especially from above!) 40m
2) Climb obvious wide crack on R and much easier then it looks. Belay at top. 10m
3) Then Leftwards round 2nd gendarme to find twin cracks (3 – 4m High). Take R one to crest of ridge and follow/hand traverse this leftwards. 50+m this pitch needs care with rope drag
