200m, 5 pitches. A steep and natural line up the buttress with fine crag scenery and interesting climbing.
The climb starts to the left of the corner of Temptress and right of the ramp of Rampant Desire in a shallow bay at a steep wall.
1. 40m Climb the wall on turf that leads to the second ramp and follow this to chockstones and a chimney that leads to The Pinnacle.
2. 45m Step down and move right along a vanishing ledge for 10m to a step right. Move up and then back left along a ramp for 15m to below steep walls right of a left-slanting break. Climb the awkward walls then move right to belays.
3. 45m Above is a steep wall. Step down and move right below this to a bay and climb a splendid narrow chimney to its top. Move left past a ‘rocking stone’ to reach another hidden chimney which is climbed steeply over bulges and chockstones to a chockstone belay below a bulge.
4. 40m climb the bulge above and then easily to an isolated outcrop.
5. Steepening snow leads to the top.
