A High level right to left girdle of the Hot Tips buttress.

Climb up Ivy Crack until possible to move left across the steep wall on small crimps. Pass through Hot Tips and place gear in the good flake. Move left around the arete and down the block which lies at the top of the arete.

From the good crack formed by the left side of the block make thin moves across the steep face. From the thin face moves make a long reach (crux) up to the triangular niche on Psoriasis. Finish as for Psoriasis.
