The right-hand arete of the buttress gives a fine climb with a stopper crux. Start at a rib, where the approach path arrives at the crag.
1) 4c, 15m. Climb the rib and groove above to a crack. Climb this then move right to a tree belay.
2) 5a, 30m. Climb the slab on the left, then go back right to reach the arete just below the overlap. Step left and pull through with difficulty. Finish more easily above.
