50m, 3 pitches. A stunning route and one of the most obvious harder crack lines of this wall.
The first pitch can be climbed as a single pitch to the lower-off.
Start: Below a thin flared crack left of Bosigran.
1.5a 17m. Climb the thin crack for 3m to a flaring of the crack and follow the crack by hard jams or
strenuous lay-backing. Move up to the next crack line above (shared with first pitch of Old Man of Sennen)
and follow this to a bolt lower-off, OR continue to the ledge and belay off two bolts below the obvious
overhanging crack above the back of the ledge.
2.5b 22m. Climb up onto the edge just right of the crack, and move left into the hand crack. Follow the
crack with increasingly wider hand jams, to move out right and up a short slab to reach a good rest stance
(possible belay). Swing left and make a spectacular rising traverse along the break to reach a recess and
belay around huge threads.
3. 5b 8m. Climb the brilliant right slanting crack line to the top of the tower. Abseil point shared with Old
Man of Sennen.
