43m, 3 pitches.

Rockfax Description
The eye-catching right-hand exit from the sea-level cave is rarely attempted. The first pitch is often greasy and has been the scene of a few epics. Start in the cave, which can be gained by an abseil, or via an awkward traverse from Right Angle.

1) 5c, 16m. From the ledge, climb two steep, offset corners (aid, if at all damp) and pull out rightwards onto the open face to an awkward, hanging belay.
2) 5a, 17m. Climb the wall rightwards to the left-leaning corner/groove-line, and follow this to a protruding ledge and belay.
3) 10m. Finish up the corner. © Rockfax
