    Tips

    Ledge route zigzags up, linking the grassy terraces, before following the skyline. A couple of slightly sketchy moves on an exposed slab near the bottom - and then a fabulous romp up delightful rock to the plateau. We saw one other party - and there was not a cloud in the sky. Close to perfection - and SO much better that the tourist track on the other side!
