53m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A good line although the finish spoils it a bit. Climb a thin crack past the edge of an overlap then the groove to a ledge below the left edge of the roof (possible stance). Continue up the chimney and the floral groove above direct to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: A good route - except for the last 15 feet which was so covered in ivy (May '22) that I lowered off. It needs cleaning from abseil before it is safe to climb. The other finish round to the right was just as overgrown.

βeta: In a bit of a state at the moment. Not unclimbable but couldn\'t recommend it. Quite loose, very vegetated. Lots of brambles at the top.

βeta: Not sure about your pitch lengths - I did it comfortably in one pitch on 50m ropes
