A wonderful adventure spiralling across some impressive terrain
1) 20m. From the base of the sloping ledge under Cenotaph Corner, climb polished flakes up and then leftwards until an airy step down (tricky to protect the second) reaches the arete. Keep trending left, passing a huge flake, to reach the ledge known as The Forest
2) 22m. Climb up left to the steep crack. Pull up this to a ledge and climb the easier slab on the left to a sloping belay ledge
3) 25m. The wide chimney crack gives access to an easy slab. Walk along this and ascend a large groove on the right to finish.
