The crag was previously sorounded by trees and prone to dampness, forestry clearance has opened it up with an improvement in suitability for climbing. The crag rises to 13m and combined with suspect rock and steep ground below the crag, routes can feel serious for their grade. It has seen an increase in climbing activity in recent years with a number of new lines being claimed.

12m. Based around the thin crack in the front of the buttress. Climb to the thin crack using positive edges and pockets to reach good holds on the wide upper break. Surmount the top block via its central arĂȘte before rocking right onto the slab to finish
