10m. Controversial chipped route ruining a potentially awesome natural slab. Thin crack climbing with a high side-runner leads to a very hard move to a triangular pocket before a rather loose finish.
FA used a few pegs for pro, climbed without using these by Gordon Lennox, April '97, pegs removed.

A. Wren 27/Apr/1993.

βeta: Scaled off worst of the loose rock from top section and gave route clean. Climbed with extended rope lower off at top of good rock. Definitely a contender for having a bolted lower off.
