60m, 2 pitches.
North Buttress, Stacach ridge.
Climbs the rib formed between the overhanging South and East face of North buttress. Steep at first and a couple of moves quite tough for III but the difficulties are short lived.
Start just left of the toe of the rib. Make some difficult moves to gain a good, flat ledge. Rib above is quite pleasant ledges until a difficult exit to easier ground. Continue up on easy ground bypassing the overhanging rib on the right to a block belay within a rock bay. 20m Spectacular scenery from this position.
Continue up on much easier ground before gaining the final ridge, huge, easy angled, snow covered slabs and the top. 40m.
