Description:
An outstanding line, talking the obvious right-leaning chimney and sharing its first pitch with Invernookie. 1. Start directly below the finish of the chimney. Climb ice steps and snow fields to an obvious belay stance with in situ rope tat below the large groove of Invernookie. 2. Traverse right and climb the chimney directly with the well-protected crux at half height. 60m ropes are a major advantage. The route is continuously interesting and features superb situations, but is hard and extremely sustained for the grade.
