5 minsThe first sighting of the main climbing area is on the right after passing the rather gloomy North Face. The path ends at some slippery rock steps that descend to the entrance of Pixies Hole cave which is barred off in order to protect bats. On rounding the buttress the impressive Combined Ops arete is revealed; open and light and in complete contrast to the rather grim cold and polished ambience of the Pixies Hole Cave Area.
