The route starts at the tiny cave at bed level marked on the map just downstream of 'Appie Doctor', taking a line from the cave to the top of the overhang above.
35m 19 From the cave ascend easily to below a shallow open book. Climb the open book until able to move right awkwardly onto a small sloping ledge. Continue up the face to a ledge below a slanting dihedral.
35m 17 From the ledge move right (1m) and then ascend the arete. Climb awkwardly at first to gain a shallow open book. Ascend this until directly below the overhanging crack. Pull through the overhang on excellent jams to the top.
Note: It is possible to omit the final overhang by traversing left, where the grade of the pitch falls to 15.
