We scrambled to a nice belay ledge. (Pic taken from ledge). From here it was steep steps and jugs, then traverse climber's left to a crack, up the crack then traverse again to the left and pull yourself up and over a small overhang to the summit. Last pull to the summit has good hands higher up. Climb protects well
