21m. A pleasant romp, and one of the few 'delectable diffs' on the coast, though the route may have been affected by a recent rockfall. Start just left of the arch. Go directly up the slab and over the overlap to a good finishing- crack. A block at the top will accept a long sling for a belay provided you keep it low. Descend by scrambling down the back or abseiling further along grassy ridge.

βeta: The climbing is steady, and position exciting, but after the overlap the rock quality deteriorates. Because of this the climbing becomes fairly serious (I wouldn't want to pull a hold off which is definitely a possibility), therefore I'd also suggest it was a severe route, as it needs a steady head. I'd be more inclined to recommend Tombstone, to the VD climber, as the protection and rock are far superior.
