Trad4  Scotts Step 8m E1 5c New
Fine climbing tackling the main ar?. Gain the ar? from its left, before climbing it direct via a couple of pockets and rounded breaks. The crux step is where it should be: right at the top!

An airy expedition that circumnavigates a section of poor rock in the middle of the buttress. Climb the wall between Franklin?s Passage and Livingstone?s Expedition. Step right and climb the more solid rock leftwards to a short jamming crack in an airy position.
