Starts about 20m downstream of GREY GULLY (Times Gully) and 10m downstream of a detached column of rock on the front left of the buttress. There is a pronounced recess/chimney which slopes slightly to the right and starts on a 2m wide ledge which is reached by scrambling up 5m to the right.
15m 14 Start immediately to the right of the tree (on the left of the same tree is HIGH JINKS). Ascend the crack into the recess and climb up the right corner of the recess until blocked by large chockstones. Move right by using small but rough footholds on the face and up and around to the ledge.
30m 16 Grovel and grot for 12m to the bottom of a corner to the right side of the arete in HIGH JINKS. Hand jam up the crack 2m to the right of the corner. After 3m move left into the corner and then up on good holds until a prominent nose is reached. Move left and onto the nose and then up easy rock on the left of the arete to the top blocks.
