30m. An interesting climb with some excellent moves, quality-compromised by the odd bit of hollow rock and sparse gear in a couple of places. Start at a slight scoop just shy of the right-hand edge of the face. Climb rightwards to a blocky footledge on the rib. Clip a high in-situ thread and continue delicately to the overlap. Go easily rightwards around the corner to an enticing crack. Pull up to a saddle (at which point a little 'au cheval' can occur...) with a flat-topped flake, where a sidepull up right enables a reach for the ledge above (pocket out right takes a compact cam or pink tricam). Gain and finish up the stepped crest of the rib.
