The crag is at the top of Winterbach Peak which is to the south of the Kromriver campsite. The walk up takes about one and a half hours.<br />

This route is on the buttress which is one level below the headwall crag. It starts from a large fallen block and follows the prominent arête.<br />
<br />

<br />

Thin Blue Line<br />
<br />
This route takes the plum line up the centre of the steep main face and ends close to the summit. Although only two pitches it has a big wall feel about it as the mountain is steep and the climbing is bold on natural gear.<br />
<br />
Pitch 1: 35m 20. Climb the crack for 25m to a small roof. Traverse right for 5m then up and through another small roof to stance on a small ledge (hanging belay on wire nuts).<br />
<br />
Pitch 2: 20m Grade 22. Climb up the crack to the roof and head out left onto the overhanging wall. Climb the headwall to the top angling leftwards.<br />
<br />
Descent: A series of narrow gorges marked by cairns leads one down without abseils.<br />
<br />
First Ascent: David Davies and Hilton Davies, 15 June 1998.<br />
