A winter ascent close to the summer line. The first pitch is steep and sustained but the
second pitch (common to Steptoe – SMCJ 2009) is serious and several peg runners were
used. Climb a turfy groove immediately right of Rose Innominate, then step right into the
main groove. Climb this to the wedge shaped crack, then move left to gain the terrace
(30m). Climb pitches 2 and 3 of Oz (35m). These are the same as the pitches on Steptoe
summer; the descriptions even fit.
