8m. Thin crack up the front of the rightmost buttress on the crag.
For the record the original name was "Niggard's Wall", niggard meaning "a stingy person" (see any dictionary), derived from an Anglo-Saxon word for a poor person, and nothing to do with the offensive word for black people (which is a 16th century mangling of the Spanish word for black). The story is that the first ascentionist reputedly wasn't great at buying his round.

Route name changed (offensive name).
