25m. This wild, wild climb may still not have had a 2nd ascent? In recent times it has been checked, cleaned and climbed on abseil/shunt - original suggested grade is perhaps about right (?). The peg looks ok and Parnell's threads have been replaced. The other gear appears to be some wires up to about 7 and some small to med. cams - no heavy stuff req'd. [Any suitors - be aware that the scary-looking holds have only been load tested by a c. 11.5 stone bod in this recent period...]. For belay, there is a peg in place at the top and a gear slot, but the rock is not the best and the safest tactic (as for Neophron, Iconoclast) is to approach by abseil down a different line and then pull the ab. rope over to secure the stance.

FA. I.Parnell Apr/1994.
