110m.
A pleasant route on excellent rock, low in the grade.
1. 4b 40m Take the common start of Warsle and Diagonal, but a few metres up the dyke above the pulpit, move left to gain a big ramp and follow this easily to belay beneath a wide vertical dyke.
2. 4c 15m Move up leftwards and climb a left-facing flake crack to the terrace above.
3. 4b 35m Climb a scooped weakness trending up rightwards to cross the dyke taken by Diagonal, continuing fairly directly upwards through a series of bulges and scoops to reach a massive ledge. From here you can walk off or:
4. 4c 20m Take your pick of lines up the wall above the ledge. Again you can escape from here, or scramble pleasantly to the summit of the buttress.
