On the right is a deep alcove. Ascend the left wall of the alcove to reach flakes, followed by a crack. Above the crack traverse left to avoid poor rock and ascend to the top (possible escape route right and up from the top of the crack). A very neat route.

Climb the left-leaning, twin cracks at the back of the deep alcove, passing large blocks at the top.

Immediately to the right is a crack/corner. Ascend this directly past a slightly overhanging block to a belay at the top of the groove.

Four metres to the right there is a steep slab. Start below an overhang to the left of the slab. Move up and swing right on to the slab, then follow the left edge of the arête to finish.

The wide crack on the right is obvious and pleasant.

Two metres to the right is a shallow, slanting groove. Ascend this with difficulty to a ledge. Move up using the corner and the face to the left, to enter a deeper groove and reach a belay in the corner at the top, or scramble to a stake higher up.
