60m, 2 pitches. The steep Prow left of Sterling Bridge

Pitch 1. (30m) Start underneath the prow and climb the slab to reach a ramp below the obvious groove. Climb the turfy groove with good gear to make a tricky step right on to a good foothold. Here the Groove narrows and becomes blank. make some thin moves to gain the steep wall out right, and make even thinner moves on poor flat hooks to reach the thin hanging crack/corner. More thin moves up the crack gains some good, but hollow hooks half way up the corner (poor bulldog protects). From here a committing move left leads to a rest on a good turf ledge. Move up and then move right across the face to regain the crack then the arete. Easy climbing leads to a good belay.

Pitch 2. (25m) Climb the easy snow to the top.
