Mostly pleasant climbing on good rock with a delicate crux. Takes the obvious line of grooves left of Cornerstone Rib, but fails to gain the obvious summit gullies. Left of Cornerstone Rib is a gully. Between this and the corner where Diagonal Route starts is a big groove that leans leftwards.
45m Up the groove and gully. Belay where the gully opens out.
25m (crux) Left and climb the corner, then a delicate 5m traverse left into the next corner.
45m Up, right behind a big loose block, right again and climb left-slanting grooves to below a slab.
35m Ascend the beaut slab to a bushy ledge beside Cornerstone Rib (possibly the ‘green pocket’ on Cornerstone Variant) - old bent bolt above here, below hard climbing into summit gullies.
10m Move right onto Cornerstone Rib and up to platform.
45m Continue up the Rib.
The topo is a guess. Please update.
May 1978 | First ascent: Ian Brown & Peter Blunt |
