22m. Climbs the grey shield in the upper half of the crag just R of Trench Warfare. Start at a shallow groove 2 m R of Trench Warfare. Climb the R wall of the groove to a slabby area. Gain a ledge to the R of the overlap above then pass the next small overlap at its R end to gain good handholds at the base of the shield. Move up L onto the shield and climb its R edge by awkward moves between good edges. From the last good edge make hard moves up the centre of the shield to the finishing jugs.
