Description 

1. Climb the left side of the slab, and either climb up a left slanting groove (harder, but well protected), or climb up the middle of the slab, until possible to step right onto an overlap and then up a step short section to the large ledge and belay.

2. Climb up the steep bulge at the back of the ledge (crux). Move up a delicate slab, to pass through the overhang and the obvious break. Finish easily up the slab above the overhang.

Location 

Passed the tumbled blocks midway along the buttress, lies a slab. This climb starts up the left side of the slab.
