220m, 6 pitches. A bold and adventurous route through the central line of weakness on the face, sampling some of Morocco's finest moss and choss. 

Pitch 1 - 15m 4a Starts for the route 'Claymore' beneath an obvious corner.  Climb up 10m before traversing left at the break and continuing easily to a stance below main wall.
Pitch 2 - 60m 5a Climb the lower wall direct at first and then trending left following the lines of weakness to reach the large grassy belay ledge.

Pitch 3 - 40m 5a Move up past the obvious pinnacle to gain a rightwards trending groove in the centre of the face. Follow this with interest and care until it is possible to step right onto a ledge with a square block. Belay here.

Pitch 4 - 55m 5a Step back left into the groove and continue upwards taking care of loose rock. At the top of groove continue direct to reach a spike and cam belay by a small bush.

Pitch 5 - 30m 4b Step up and left to traverse underneath the steep tower and pull round this to reach easier ground. Traverse further leftwards through a small bowl to reach a large grassy ledge with a tree.

Pitch 6 20m 4c bridge up the appealing crack and groove at the leftwards end of the ledge before scrambling to the top.

Follow the clifftop leftwards and descend the large gulley system via a series of abseils and scrambling.
