★★ How Hard Can it Be? 23

The furthest buttress on the left (looking from camp). Skipping the first pitch makes for a much friendlier introduction to Tyndalls climbing.

Approach via the slabs and gullies along the cliff edge. You’ll come to a deep, scrubby gully which is crossed via a tight trail through the scrub (should be marked by a cairn).

Working your way along, you’ll probably find yourself on the summit of the tallest buttress. Looking down, you’ll see a big cairn on the ledge below you - this is where the rap starts. Walk lookers left a little bit to scramble down to this ledge.

Raps: - short one onto DBB at arete - straight down onto grassy ledge (don’t follow the line of the route here). You should see the next anchors down a little bit, on a lower ledge climbers right of the grassy one. - from here, follow the route.

The raps can be done on a 70m (with stretch). Alternatively, there’s a double FH belay halfway down P3 that can facilitate shorter ropes.

1. 23m (23)

2. 27m (16)

3. 42m (19)

4. 17m (18)

5. 15m (16) - traverse and down climb a bit, aiming for the arete to climber’s right

6. 27m (21)

7. 14m (10)
