17m.

Rockfax Description
16m. The rift in the centre of the face is a classic two pitch battle. The lower squeeze can be avoided by starting up Overhanging Groove - a cop-out - and helmets jam in the final narrow section. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Start right of Overhanging Groove in the 'V' recess and climb to the cave, where a belay is possible. From the cave climb up and out to finish with exposure on the left rib.

William Parsons, circa 1900.
