25m.
A complete, high-level traverse of the North side of The Rift. Slopers and jams to start, delicate climbing to finish.
Start by standing on top of the wall at the back of the Rift. Stay at this height and climb left until it is possible to gain height via the curving crack of Rift Crack to reach the horizontal break below the top. With hands at this height, continue all the way to the left end of the Rift and finish as for Clematis (i.e. ‘large top bulge pocket and span left’). The crux is moving left from Tight Chimney, across Daisy Chain to Oubliette (a fall at the end of which could leave you taking the ‘Suppository Boulder’ sideways
