Steep, cliff splitting crackline, with lots of chimney and v- groove climbing. A directissima to the Foresight-South Peak Col. Take at least doubles to 4 camalot, large sizes are useful.

Approach over the Acropolis or from Geryon camp, there is a rock bivvy called Heim at the cliff base several hundred metres north of Orion.

Descent: One 50m, or two 25m raps to get down the west face from the col, then scramble/walk south to meet the Geryon Camp track below Geryon South Spur.

Pitch 1: 60m Starting in gully. Up chimney to scree slope, at 60m there is a protruding rock on the scree slope you can anchor to.

Pitch 2: 50m Up the scree slope and rock to the base of the chimney.

Pitch 3: 45m 15 Up the chimney-corner, a nice pitch.

Pitch 4: 40m 18 Up, passing a tricky move negotiating a steep groove, to the base of an awkward short steep groove. Some grotty rock.

Pitch 5: 50m 18 Difficult start, then up corner with grotty, stalactite-like features, to ancient carrot bolts in alcove below 2m roof crack.

Pitch 6: 35m 19 Chimney the roof and pull the lip, from here, some hard crack climbing leads to a gnarly vegetated groove. Save a 2 or 3 camalot for the belay.

Pitch 7: 30m 19 More tough groove climbing, easing off to juggy chockstones.

Pitch 8: 20m Up to the top, at the cave/roof crack there is an easier corner around to the left (I think)
