55m, 2 pitches. P1 (6a) 35m. start on the right hand side of the main face. Climb up to a huge flake. From here pull up and left to the base of a groove, climb this past a hollybush to a tricky exit. Climb spikes to the bottom of a slim (rp) groove. Thin technicalities gain the belay above on ledges beneath the roof of P2. P2 (6a) 20m. Pull wildy on undercuts, to tricky moves establishing yourself on the headwall. A few more moves up the vague groove complete this classic.

spooky top pitch on creaking, detached columns. Maybe only 5c, but feels serious.
switch - AltLd O/S - 30/Aug/10 with Blair

1st pitch only

soph - AltLd O/S - May/10 with Tony Stone, Dan McManus

If it was 1 pitch it would be E5. both pitches are stout E4 with hard 6a moves. Superb climbing, not to be missed or under-estimated.
Alex Mason - AltLd O/S - 06/Mar/10 with Mikey G
