60m, 2 pitches.
Two contrasting pitches of varied climbing are well worth doing.
Pitch 1. 30m. A short finger crack leads to a left leaning chimney. Follow this to a small roof. Over this roof and into another (shorter) left leaning chimney and a bolted anchor. A #6 BD Camalot or equivalent protects the bulk of the lower chimney and good smaller gear can be placed at the roof. 5.9.
Pitch 2. A vertical crack of varied jamming/laybacking leads to a poor rest. From here traverse leftwards and establish yourself (crux) in the short finishing crack which leads to a bolted anchor. 5.10c.
It is possible to link these two pitches, but difficult to avoid debilitating rope drag at the upper crux if doing so. Descent by abseil.
