At the start of the difficulties

Description 

This climb wends its way up the more sterner buttress to the left of Scrumdillyishus, characterized by 3 small roofs.

The initial thin crack peters out to become delicate face climbing, this culminates, after the first bolt, in a fierce little sequence (crux) to reach a large flake. The character of the climb now changes; committing moves over each of the roofs, coupled with exposure, make the moderate steep face climbing seem quite serious.

A long, enjoyable and varied climb.

Protection 

Small wires, 4 bolts, medium cams, long sling for flake. Large cams for belay (same as Scrumdillyishus).
