Follow There (VS, 5a) to the ledge below the groove between the two overhangs. Swing out onto the righthand overhang and traverse right to a good sling placement, then reach to a sloping hold and pull over the overhang. Climb 6m up a grassy slope to a good belay on an iron post. Grade unconfirmed, originally reported as E2/E3
