Traverse ramp rightwards using a variety of heel action. Right toe on small FH almost at ground level on arete. RH to diagonal crimp on R Wall. Rock weight onto L heel which is on ramp. LH up to well brushed sloper just left of arete (quite a long way). Leave enough space to match RH next to it. Snatch LH to better hold a bit further left. Rock more on L heel until you can reach top. It's all about pulling in with your left heel. Enjoy.

Sorry, that should say "LH up to well brushed sloper just RIGHT of arete (quite a long way)."

Is that the classic sequence? Seems complicated. I did it thus: reach rh pinch on arete, left heel on rail, throw for top.

From the end of the rail/slopey ledge. Obviously you have to do a couple of moves along this before you can reach it.

well, i have been traversing the ramp, then start getting my left heel up and work it along,  then traverse on the sloppers, get my left heel on the really  positive  big crimpy thing, then put my RF somewhere down near the arete, keep my heel there and work my RH up the arete..

I looked the other day, as you cast doubt into my mind... The pinch is very low, not much higher than the ledge.
