An excellent climb, despite the poor rock below the roof. Start between the two scoops and climb up and left to the left side of the Main Overhang.

Swing right on to the Main Overhang then gain a standing position above the roof (peg) then finish up the wall about two metres to the right of the arête, between the arête and the crack.
