38m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
Pleasant and varied. Start below a capped V-groove. The start is 5b but the fantastic second pitch feels the harder of the two.
1) 5b, 18m. Thrutch up the groove to a crack. Move left over a roof then right onto the face. Climb a crack to the faultline.
2) 5a, 20m. Gain the wall above and take a crack to a bulge. Pass this and climb slabs to a small corner finishing rightwards. © Rockfax

βeta: Very tricky/strenuous start, exciting moves across the face to get to the deep crack. Lots of fulmars watching us belay. Lovely top pitch, good solid 5a with some nice moves right to the finishing corner. Marvellous!
