40m. A good route, marred only by a loose section at the top of the initial slab. Climb the rib right of Moving Target and carefully cross the loose section to reach trees. Trend right to gain a fine crack and follow it to a tree, Climb more easily to the top.

I found it quite hard as there was a bit where i had to just to reach the hand hold you need quite a bit of upper body strength for this climb X Sammy G X

Loose, friable and one slightly traumatic moment when a hold came off in my hand. Not an ideal solo. Rubbish route as well.
