P1-Climb up the arete of the right facing corner and pull through a roof.

P2-Follow a right angling crack to the gully on the right.

P3-Climb a crack on the buttress on the right and build a hanging belay.

P4-Continue up the crack and another hanging belay at the top of the crack.

P5-From the top of the crack work out and left to get some gear and then run it out considerably on easy terrain. Belay at tree.
