Description 

When the queue is high for Composure and you have a bit of flair (and a big piece) look to the Flakes.

High adventure value pulling a mini-roof and onto the arete. Gorgeous "Snowyshed" rock to the top.

Someone I took up this climb deemed it "rather British"...

Location 

Right of Composure maybe 30' (but not in the chimney) is some scary looking big flakes. Trend left until you can get thonker pro on the pretty white arete. Climb sculpted rock to the top.

Protection 

A standard rack works okay, but a 5 Camalot can work wonders for the psyche (place lower on the climb, behind "mostly solid" flake.
