Start about 1/2 hr walk left (facing out) from the final abseil in David Crevasse.

P1, P2 and P3 40m+ (16) Various starts over scrubby ledges get to the start of the real cliff. The original way was mainly rock on P1 and P2 (about grade 16). This could not be found on the second ascent.

(Main Cliff)

P4 20m (17) Up R facing corner onto scrubby ledge. Great pro to tree belay.

P5 25m (19) Up Lefthand layback corner, making detour onto R face when corner is choked with dirt. Technical and scary mantle, then delicate traverse back L to corner. Up to big ledge. Move R and easily up to scrub belay.

P6 30m (15) Up R facing corner with care (loose flake above belay) to obvious traverse line. Traverse R to arete then up a few more meters to belay.

P7 50m (5) Scramble and scrub bash (one tricky section - stay roped up) to clean ledge underneath roofs on the R.

(Walk ~50m R, underneath roofs, to obvious way up, just before the ledge runs out. There is a log book left here.)

P8 30m (15M1) 2 points of aid (large cams) to get through offwidth roof, then up lovely wall and corner on great holds. (Awesome exposure!!). Belay on tiny ledge at top of corner.

P9 30m (10) R and up the great corner on the slab. Great pro, rock and exposure. At top move R and onto scrubby ledge. Good cams below next corner for the belay.

P10 15m (12) Up corner and R face (some loose rock) to belay on rock bollard.

Walk R, underneath the large roofs until the first weakness is reached

P11 30m (13) Onto R wall, using suspect flake and directly up (Not much pro and sickening exposure!) to ledges. Move up and R to the obvious escape gully. Huge tree belay.

Walk up the L side of the gully and surmount one tricky section (roped).

Walk due north until you hit the road - scrub from hell unavoidable....
