[Second on a lovely slab day., 1 kb]30m. The most testing of the four lines described on this section of the cliff. High in the grade. Start at the base of the easy-angled arete on the left side of the main slab. 37m. Move up the arete for 5m and transfer to cracks in the slab on the right. Follow the right-trending cracks all the way to the top passing a very thin section at two-thirds height. © ROCKFAX
The far left, just r of the arete itself. Variations for the top; stay at the same angle or bear left on large hollow flakes.

Tide was coming in, so top roped, and traversed left from the lower part of ben on a lovely thin line between Ben and Freddie. Climbed the balance on Freddie, and enjoyed this climb more than Ben or Marion on the same face.
