75m | III
(295 004) Located high on the east facing broken summit crag immediately south of Steel edge and just right of a prominant diagonal grade 1 snow gully (soloed the same day, but possibly the right hand easy gully written up by B.Davison ?). The icefall condition should be viewed from the top of Tilberthwaite Gill as it is not visible on the approach traverse. Approach up Steel Edge to the first steepening rocks, traverse left for 80m then scramble diagonally up left over mixed ground for 50m to the hidden icefall.
P1 (50m) Climb the steep 10m icefall and a snow scoop above to belay at the base of slabby icefalls.
P2 (25m) Climb the slabby icefalls or icy corner on the left.
Equally as good as its neighbouring routes and worth a mention in the guide is BROAD GULLY (292 007) 200m (gr 2-) on Hen crag South. J.Daly (solo) 6Feb09 and again on 23Jan10.
200m Climb the broader gully line between South South gully and South gully with a short crux gully headwall at half height where the rock walls encroach on both sides.
First ascent: (13/02/2010) J.Daly (solo)
