160m, 3 pitches. Go to the lowest point of the cliff, slightly to the left, and find a detached flake about 5 metres high. Climb straight up in 3-4 pitches to the girdle ledge. Choice of belay positions. Good enough protection, small cams handy. Some large loose blocks, fair bit of vegetation. Cioch Corner continues directly ahead from the big ledge.
