25m, 2 pitches.
This route climbs the arete of the skyline buttress. It is gained from the quarry base 8m right of 'Rounding the Mark' and is 2 pitched full height route.
P1. Scramble up left or right on the best quality rock for 15m (est) to a single bolt belay stance below the Lookout/Conning Tower buttress above. Add gear as necessary. P2 (8m) (est) from a position directly below the arête climb up blocky ledges to a groove with overlap above and below the arête proper. Set very small wires and cams before going for the crux arête via a committing side pull move at halfway to crimps. Finish over bulges to perch on the vantage point, wink and hoot on about the awesome view. Be aware of snappy and loose holds throughout at times.
