68m, 3 pitches. A reasonable start and finish are linked by some rock and a lot of vegetation in the upper half of the first pitch. 1) 5b, 28m. Climb the crack in the left wall of the slabby groove to bulges, then traverse left to easier rock. Graze up the rib and grotty terrain to a belay below cleaner rock. A tough pitch. The wall to the left gives a harder variant - The Direct Start, E2 5c. 2) 5a, 14m. Trend left up the wall to a niche, then climb up and slightly leftwards to belay in the cave. 3) 4c, 15m. Finish leftwards, as for West Wall Climb. © ROCKFAX

The first pitch was harder than expected then chossier than expected. We arrived at the belay to find peregrines nesting so gave up and built a lower off a bit off to the right. Probably best to avoid this til the birds have gone

Nightmare first pitch. Was expexting 5a after The Thorn and got 5c. Getting to the second pitch was a nightmare with all the grass, but pitch two was fantastic..led p1 and p3

This is hard, the starting groove is 5c and the 2nd part of P1 is dangerous! P2 is delightful though....glad I did P2 not P1
