70m. Popular with Outdoor Centres and their lines of penguins, the long rambling ridge at the right-hand end of the cliff gives a pleasant scramble with multifarious variations. It is low in the grade and offers a good intro to 'rock-hopping', though the many more direct variations increase the grade and the quality. Fontainbleau meets The Roaches! © ROCKFAX
