95m, 3 pitches.
At the left of Dove's Nest Crag proper the crag peters out slightly and is cut in the middle by a large shallow gully which steepens with height and has an ice pillar at the top. The route is to the left of the gully and follows a ramp.
1 40m (2). From the obvious start of the ramp there is a small ice step clim this and continue up good turf to a large tree belay on the left.
2 30m (3). From the belay continue up easy angled snow slope to where it steepens and continue staying close to the wall on the right with a good chockstone half way up. Belay from a small tree in the centre of the slope.
3 25m (3). The slope steepens further and equipment is minimal primarily being warthogs. Follow easy angled snow slope to finish.
