12m. The wall just left of the blunt nose is a good V5 problem. Pull over the narrow overhang to reach the final slab. © ROCKFAX

Seriously hard! Very good. Had a real epic trying to link into the last move. In the dark. V5ish.

Ground up. Tricky moves on the bouldery start, mostly because you can't see your footholds. Exposed but easy finish. The start is a very good boulder problem.

Good footwork required - as perhaps someone to point out the lower feet once your body is over the upper slab
