Wavelength 130m III,4**A Fyffe and D Bowen, 13 February 1985
Takes the left branch of the Y-shaped fault taken by Fluted Buttress Direct on the left side of the steepest slabby rocks, and becomes more defined with height. Climb up to the foot of the twin grooves of Spiral Gully and climb diagonally up and right, taking in a short steep corner to gain a diagonal fault, which goes right into the main fault, where it splits. Climb this left fault to an open corner at the top, which can be climbed or turned on the left (easier). Continue up the ridge to finish or cross Spiral Gully and climb the groove opposite.
Fluted Buttress Direct 135m IV,5***A Fyffe and S Crymble, 18 March 1978
A good route up the narrow but prominent Y-shaped chimney system on the left of the steeper slabby rock. Climb a pitch of easy broken ground to the chimney and follow this to the fork, where the fault gets bigger – can be harder under powder conditions. Take the right fork, which leads on to the crest, and follow this to the plateau.
