    From the arĂȘte left of the deep corner traverse past a pointed block to below a small inverted triangular niche. Go up to this, then move diagonally right to a large ledge. Gain the flake above and exit on to a sloping ledge, then go up to the long ledge and peg belay on the right. Abseil descent.

    From the base of the deep corner climb the short wall on the left to the large ledge. Move up to an awkward sloping ledge above and continue up a short V-groove to the long ledge.

    Start just right of the corner and climb the wall to a square niche. Step right and pull through the centre of the overhangs above, finishing up a shallow corner to the long ledge.

    Climb the wide crack on the right to the overhang, then pass this on its right to a ledge above. Traverse left to the peg belay.
