A popular route which makes the most of the broad rib on the left end of the crag.
Start at the toe of the buttress, below a large overhang.
1) 45m. Climb up left of the overhang then right to a tree (possible belay). Move back left and up to a groove, climb the right side of this and the crack above to a big ledge.
2) 30m. Scramble rightwards to a tree on a ledge. Climb the crack above to another tree and then follow a final crack and slabs to the top.

I have done this route dozens of times and know the route pretty well but I can't make any sense of the description of Pitch 1.
