Start on the very lowest rock band, beneath the wall directly overlooking Consolation Peak. Walk 50 meters to the right from the north-western corner of the Spout, along the foot of the rock. A short, vertical red face to the right of large overhangs forms the first pitch. Much variation is possible.

1. 20m (3): Climb the short face, then walk to the left-hand edge of the ledge and climb through an obvious break and up well-weathered rock to a broad ledge.

2. 20m (3+): Climb a vertical, weathered red corner at the right-hand extremity of the ledge to the next ledge. Walk 12 meters to the right and climb a short, red face to the next stance.

3. 28m (4c): A vertical red face leads to a ledge under an overhang. Climb diagonally up and to the right to a weathered corner. Traverse to the right on small grips to a vertical flake against the face. Climb straight up to the ledge.

4. 30m (3+): Move to the left-hand edge of the ledge and climb through the obvious gap to another ledge. Climb a short face near the right-hand edge of the ledge to the next ledge. Climb the sloping left-hand side of a right-angled recess, then continue up two short, vertical, yellow cracks to a dassie ledge. Crawl to the right-hand edge of the ledge and climb through a break to the next ledge.

5. 30m (4b): Move to the right-hand edge of the ledge and climb an exposed, curving corner to the final shoulder of the peak. Walk across the rocks littering this ledge to the north-western corner of the buttress, immediately to the left of a large overhang. Step off from a sloping rock, then pull up to a bottomless recess. Move two meters up the recess, then press up on the left-hand corner, and continue up through the fault above, bearing right, to the top.
