1) Go left up the open easy Chimney past some chockstones to belay. 20m
2) Go directly up past via a groove to the bottom of a nasty offwidth. Climb this then go up to belay on the half way ledge. 40m (4b/c)
3) Go up the parallel cracks with a bulgew inbetween. Have to climb this like riding a horse. Climb a scoop above then pad up a slab to belay. 30m (4b/c)
4) Go left 2m from the belay into the next crack over then go straight up it to the top. 35m (4c)
5) The might have been a small easy finishing pitch to get to the top.
