30m.
A good excursion with exciting final moves. Possibly the only traverse at this standard in the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean. Whilst it is mostly well protected, care is needed with ropework.
Start easily up The Tiffin Club, until level with a ledge line that runs leftwards across the entire width of the Great Slab. Arrange protection then shuffle leftwards, passing good protection in a wide crack, under a tree, then over a second tree. As the exposure starts to bite shuffle on leftwards until bridging across a small cave. Arrange good protection and step delicately left round the fragile nose to take a belay at two sturdy beech trees. Though an exit over steep mossy ground is possible, lowering off the trees is recommended.
