A fun route and a fine introduction to the crag.
1) 30m. Starting 20m right of the central pillar/crack and climb the large rib. Belay on an expansive ledge system.
2) 45m. Head rightwards onto the slab and follow it (keeping left of centre) to its top and a tricky belay. Close up photo of top section shown on following page.

Takes less drainage than other routes here. P2 has 10m of wet grass on top before suitable belay. Stay roped for exit to descent path.

Rib is about Diff, easy moves but holds not always juggy, gear ok. Slab is about Mod, simple fun. Belayed at top of slab using big hex with sling pulled thru gap between boulders, quite secure. Exit to descent is exposed, on steep grass, glad we carried boots up.
