39m.

Rockfax Description
A great little climb with an exposed finale traversing above the cave. Begin up the steep wall that leads to the corner crack on the right side of the cave. Traverse boldly leftwards past a couple of old pegs that no longer inspire much confidence. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
An exposed route. Climb into the cave and traverse rightwards to the first corner crack. Follow this to a recess, level with the top of the wall above the cave.

βeta: Nice traverse. Reminded me of IDOWH in Angelsey(ish). Thank god we saw that we were heading up the wrong route and into E2 6a territory. Otherwise we would have needed Thunderbirds to the rescue. The cave, save for this route is polished more than Avon Gorge! This however is mega and great fun. Do not take the eastern side flank of Upper Jacky\'s Tor and around and then down. Better to follow the western flank and make it into the cave that way. We misread the approach and I nearly fell as the rock is loose as anything.
