250m, 5 pitches. 5 pitches in the obvious gully above the Snocoach road (that main line is West Chimney)
1. Approach as for the West Chimney route. From the main gully, climb left 30m up a snow slope, away from the gully to the base of an obvious crack
2. 70m, M3. starting from the left, traverse into the main crack. Ascend the crack to a snow slope
3. 70m, M4. Avoid the snow gully on the left and climb up the chimney/crack on the right to a snow slope. Traverse left to the base of the upper corner
4. 35m, M5. Climb up the stunning, solid corner using small holds on the left and right walls. Cross an interesting chockstone to the end of a ramp and a belay at the back of a cave
5. 35m, M5. Clip the high piton, then make cruxy moves traversing left to a good right-facing crack, which is followed to the ridge crest

Descent: sketch your way down the ridge crest past the massive boulder, keeping an eye on the right for a hard-to-spot rap station. 35m rap leads to easier slopes
