90m, 3 pitches.
A girdle traverse following the obvious fault line across the quarry from right to left. Start as for Centaur.
(1)Climb onto a big ledge and through the overhang of Charybdis. Climb the edge of the slab above to the niche of Scylla. Move up and left as for Scylla to the foot of the broken arete and over the nose on the left (tree, possible belay). Descent to a shallow scoop and move left below overhangs to a hawtorn tree, Continue the traverse left on small but good ledges to the corner of Prometheus taking a belay on the peg beneath the roof and the good ledge 10ft below (per to verify, probably better to belay at the tree).
(2)Reverse the slab below the belay and traverse left on good ledges to below the overhang of Cerebus. Continue the traverse at the same level over some earthy ledeges and step carefully up behind a rowan tree. Step left across the slab of Thetis and reverse the overhanging block moves on Tantalus. Step left across the wall of Tantalus and join Styx at the earthy ledges a few feet left.
(3)As for Styx. Pull into groove above with care and climb out right above. Step right, layback over the overhang and move right to finish.
