description

On scrambling down the gully just downstream of the 'Midnight Crawl' buttress one comes across a groove system at the downstream extremity of the buttress. A salient feature of the route is a small rock pinnacle just underneath a horizontal dinner plate protrusion. The route starts on top of a large block just up from the start of the crack-cairn on the top of the block.

  1. [15] 30m Climb the crack just below the erectile projectile. Move cautiously up, pass the little pinnacle, and climb the faint open book above to reach the top of the gendarme. Move across the little gully and climb the rough wall behind to reach the comfortable belay stance on the top.

Notes: The holds slope in such a way that it feels as if the route is trying to spit you out. An excellent route on rock which is not as easy as it first appears.
