Gain the far left-hand end of the Staircase ledge by stepping up onto a higher foot ledge and traversing around the corner finally stepping down to a tree.
1. 12m '14': From the tree, climb the white recessed face to a ledge under the overhang.
2. 35m '16': Pull into the overhanging crack (awkward) and climb this. At the top, step right and using face holds climb 3m up to the horizontal rail. (For photo opportunities, make a hanging stance here). Traverse right along this to just before the corner. Pull up into a vertical crack system and climb this to a small ledge.
3. 20m '15': From the left-hand end of the ledge climb up the face, pulling through a little bulge at the top, to the large ledge.
Scramble through the final rock band to the cable station.
Slightly harder than the original, but with consistently better climbing with better movement.
If your rope-work and skill level permits, combine P1&P2 and P3&P4.
Rather than starting in the gully, by the tree, start at the extreme left edge of The Staircase Ledge (left edge beneath Jeopardy wall)
1. 12m '14': Climb the left arête/face for 5m, step left into the white shallow recess (gear) and then directly up to the ledge under a small roof (stepping left from the cavern).
2. 20m '16': Gain the overhanging crack above by rounding the small roof on the left (high-step off the ledge) and then stepping back right once immediately above the belay.
3. 15m ‘16’: The classic pitch.
4. 15m ‘18’: From the stance go straight up face
5. Scramble to the top.
