15m. Start at the obvious ledge, below the sycamore tree on the right hand side of the quarry. Move precariously onto the pedestal, step up into the niche, and continue left again onto the ledge. Up the flake on the right, follow the crack (over mother and child) up to finish at the oak tree. Either belay/lower from the tree, or in bay behind.

βeta: The description is a little off and would read better something like: Start in the centre of the right hand crag of the quarry below the large tree. Step up onto the block and then climb over the left-pointing finger flake and into the small nice. Continue up and left for 1m into the corner at the base of a right trending flake/corner. Climb this to the next ledge and the 'Mother and Child' blocks. Climb the rightward trending crack to top out at the oak tree above. A really nice route; solid and well protected throughout. Would be fantastic if it was longer.
