Pitch2-5.11a: Straigt up then move right (crux) and further up (pumpy) to a ledge with a belay station. Pitch3-5.11b: Step up left on the big block (it moves!) to clip the first bolt. Then climb up through a technical crux and mantle to a big ledge (optional belay station). Easy climbing up to the right gets you to base of Nepenthes Wall with a double-bolt belay/abseil station.Descent Options:
- abseil down to the big ledge, then down the wall - walk down through Fairy Cave (see also Nephthens Wall)

Now led all the pitches - even though today pitches 2 and 3 were wet. Stiff for the grade.
