<p>The easiest route on the crag. It follows the obvious large corner at the right hand end of the cliff. It is possible to combine with a further three pitches on the upper tier, reputedly at a similar grade.</p> <h2>Approach # 15mins</h2> <p>From the hairpin follow the faint path to the right hand end of the crag. Identify the large corner with a steep right hand side and a slabby left hand side. The route starts up a scruffy ramp to a corner topped with a dead tree. There is a bolt without hanger part way up the ramp and a bolt with a hangar at the start of the difficulties. You can either rope up here or lower down at the foot of the ramp.</p> <h2>Route</h2> <p>L# | 3c | 30m | Climb the loose corner, past the dead tree to better rock and the foot of the main corner. 2 bolt belay with an abseil point to the left. L# | 5b | 35m | Climb the slab then the corner to a belay with an abseil chain L# | 5b | 30m | Trend slightly left then up over two overhangs on good holds to an abseil chain. L# | 5c | 35m | Easy ground then slab climbing followed by steeper but easier climbing. The belay/abseil chain is very low. There is a bolt 5m further back.</p> <h2>Descent</h2> <p>Abseil back down the route</p> <p>Alternatively continue upwards, walking, to two bolts in the rocks above. From here traverse (2b), passing two bolts, for 50m to a two bolt belay. A line of bolts for 3 pitches start from here. It is also possible to continue traversing for another 50m (2b), no bolts, to an abseil point which gets you back down &#8220;Calimero&#8221; in two abseils (58m + 50m).</p>
