18m.
Good value and a bit tricky in places following the line of least resistance through the steepening wall. Start one metre right of the green-railed fence.
Climb delicately up to a small bulge, reach over to a good handrail and clip a bolt runner on the right. Climb a short easy slab to a more menacing bulge (wire placement and two peg runners) then step left and pull over, crux, to ease into a small niche with a black borehole (good wires and optional big hex). Break out, up and right, into a comfy alcove (bomber gear) and step around a very sharp arête (take care with the ropes!). The shared double ring abseil station is just above.
Originally E1 5a. Re-cleaned, with an extra peg and bolt added in 2012.
