85m, 3 pitches.
The right to left slanting line cutting through Dr Noe. The main feature is a wide crack splitting an overhanging, right-facing corner high on the crag. Start at the short left facing corner right of Dr Noe.
1. 25m Climb the deceptively steep corner and exit to belay in Dr Noe.
2. 30m Climb a crack through the left wall to gain then follow a right-facing corner. Exit onto a slab and climb to below the main overhanging corner. Swing right into a higher recess and belay.
3. 30m Surmount the bulge and continue by a right trending crack to below the final wall. Cut sharply back left via a flake and continue left to the top.
