Description:
P1 A great route up the left side of the nose. Use the common start to all the left hand routes. Could be a queue. Move left and up a shallow groove to a big ledge under a roof. Traverse right below the roof and up a chimney. At the top of the chimney move left to a perfect crack. Up this to a big ledge. From the ledge go right until you are stood on a small pinnacle, step of this round the front of the crag the climb the cracks to another large ledge. From here go slightly right until standing on a block below an awkward mantle. This is the crux and protection is poor. Then easily to the top. The mantle can be avoided by a traverse into eastern gully.Descent Options:
Rappel down either eastern or western gullies, fixed rap points usually in place.

After queueing for the first pitch the climb flowed smoothly. All the protection was good except for the final mantle where a medium nuts is used in a shallow worn crack.
