Rockfax Description
235m. The easiest way up the full height of the buttress traverses from left to right high up the central slabs and, although a little vegetated, it climbs through some fantastic ground for the grade.
1. 30m Climb the centre of the smooth slab to a small ledge. Step right to a wall, then take a small slanting corner and traverse left to a stance. Finish up a small black crack to a flake belay.
2. 25m Continue straight up to a large block below a groove. Climb the groove, then traverse right round an arête to a shattered ledge.
3. 25m Move up to easier ground and a belay below the a chimney.
4. 15m The chimney for 10m, then traverse the slab on the right to reach a small stance.
5. 25m Move right to a large flake beneath the great overhangs.
6. 10m Traverse the flake (6m), then climb a rock rib to a thread belay on a platform.
7. 40m Follow the line of weakness rightwards to gain a platform on the edge of the buttress.
8. 30m Scramble up the edge.
9. 35m Enter a groove, and follow this mainly on the right wall to the buttress crest.
