This buttress which has a prominent flake up its centre and is topped by a slab is reached by traversing the hillside leftwards for 50 metres from McArtneys Cave.

Trad2  Where do we go from Here? 10m E2 6a New
Starting on the ar?, pull onto the left face above a vegetated ledge using obvious holds. Use these and the ar? to gain the slab above. Finish as for Summers End.
