In the inward curving section of the face is a series of ramplines stacked above each other. The upper rampline which steps steeply left to right is just below a pale wall in which can be seen a lava sworl decorated by resident birds in a manner suggesting the name. Start below a tree at 3 m in a groove. Aim generally for the lower end of the upper rampline.
80ft. Up groove to tree. Break right onto slab and layback crack. Over blocks to ledge and belay.
70ft. (Crux). Move slightly onto ledge on left. Up block to a prominent crack, which is awkward to enter, and up to a capped block. Step onto cap and take next block left on friction. This gives onto the upper rampline. Belay on fine ledge below Madonna.
100ft. Continue up ramp on slabs to small cave. As rock quality deteriorates continue rightwards to exit into a grassy gully.
