27m. Start as for The Horned One, following the rounded rib to the base of the corner. From a short way up the corner traverse right to a projecting ledge on the arete. Climb the arete, easily at first; then make airy moves up the final undercut section (peg). Abseil from the large tree atop a mossy slope.

UPDATE 16.9.11 the peg is no longer there. The crux is now run out; the route hasn't been led without the peg, but is at least E2, possibly E3.
