30m. A laudable modern hybrid that puts together all of the best climbing in this area of the crag. Well protected throughout and only marred by some of the suspect rock in common with System Z. Start below the major groove-line, which leads up to roofs at 12m.
Climb the groove past two low pegs to a bolt and an ash stump at the base of the prominent crack. Ease up and with protection from a high second bolt break out diagonally leftwards. Step up with difficulty to a third bolt and cross over to a peg in the main-groove line of System Z. Climb this hollow groove carefully to a suspect bulge and surmount it gently to gain the solid slab above. With added protection from a peg out to the right keep tightly to the corner and pull up over a small roof (peg and in-situ thread) to a ledge and further peg beneath a steep wall of compact rock. Climb this wall past a bolt and move slightly left to a final bolt on the Chepstow Zombie Finish. Abseil station above on the right.
