Fine climbing based around the dramatic square cut arete
1) 4c, 30m. Steady climbing leads to a large flake perched on the arete then harder and bolder moves reach the sanctuary of a small ledge. Shuffle right to a shallow chimney-slot and up this to a flake that leads out left onto the wall. A good ledge is just above
2) 14m. The slabby crack leads to the top.
