85m, 3 pitches.
This climbs a crack system beginning 5m beyond a momentary narrowing of the ledge at the south end of the crag, at the north end of a pool upon the ledge itself.
1) 4c, 25m. Climb a left-leaning crack to a roof, just to the right of a large hanging shield of rock at 15m. Swing up and left on to the shield and belay above and slightly to the right on a ledge beside a prominent hole.
2) 4b, 25m. Go up the juggy steep wall above and trend slightly leftwards to belay beneath a capped, square-cut corner.
3) 4b, 35m. Near the roof of the corner, step right and finish direct via broken, vegetated ground. A finish trending leftwards may be more enjoyable/less inhabited.
