1) Start to the right of the scrubby looking tree 100m up the gully from the corner (the
hills have eyes). Climb a vague and fairly unprotected groove line before taking flakey
“steps” leftwards for a short way. A fairly intricate up and rightwards path then gain
the offwidth before reaching the ledge and belay: A flared finger crack being
bypassed by a short rightwards hand traverse and mantle with interesting pocket
moves to get established in the crack above.
2) From the ledge a perfect 40 to 50m hands off-width crack. Appplicants need big arms
and a supply of big cams. Not climbed complete. A cam was left in situ to descend
from
