68m, 2 pitches.
Above and to the left of Red Wall is a prominent overhang, shadowing a steep clean groove. Start below and to the left of the groove at a slab tongue coming down from the left. The first pitch is avoidable.
1) 18m Up and right edge of the slab, moving right at 15m to gain a small ledge and poor belay at the foot of the groove.
2) 50m Up the groove, forking left below the overhang. Move left and down slightly to gain a good horizontal crack leading left across the wall. Hand traverse left across this to gain the arete. Up this (crux) to wall above which is climbed more easily to the top.
