170m. The obvious chimney/gully, bounding the Left hand side of the main buttress. Follow easy snow for several pitches until a bay is reached with a steep ice pitch ahead. Avoid the ice pitch by following the left fork and climbing steep snow/turf rightwards to arrive at the top of the steep ice pitch. A further pitch of easy snow leads to the top.
