76m, 4 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A popular, intricate and sustained climb that visits some of the trickier sections of the crag. Start below a series of narrow corners just left of a huge flake at the base of the wall.
1) 5a, 26m. Move up cracks to a ledge and make a committing move up right into another small corner. Climb this, and its continuation to a belay at the junction with a band of red rock that crosses the face.
2) 4c, 23m. Traverse right for around 8m to a steep groove. Climb the groove past a black stained hole and an overlap just above to a flake that leads left under an overhang to a slabby bay with a belay at its left-hand side.
3) 5a, 12m. Move back right to the bottom of a wide, rounded flake crack. Climb the crack strenuously to where it eases and move right to a belay below a leaning corner.
4) 5a, 15m. Climb the leaning corner, which is hard but well-protected, to a welcome jug on the left. The top is not far above. © Rockfax

βeta: Guidebook slightly confusing on pitch 2, the prose being more accurate than the topo. After the hole and flake, continue up another flake and left under the obvious overhangs and up to the ledge.
