Fantastic route in an excellent position

Paul Hopwood on 2005-01-15

In Summer, very enjoyable way to the top. You can scramble up the rock in the safety of the groove or easily up on the left side of the groove(a bit of exposure). There's a short narrow ledge with a short chimney and then a slab to negotiate to finish. In winter, we did it in full winter conditions in 1996. The short chimney becomes a slight concern especially as you start it from a narrow ledge. The slab becomes a cascade of ice which once mounted is no problem in crampons.

The route can retain a few steep and exposed icy sections, even after the rest has thawed.
