9m.

Rockfax Description
Popular and very committing and a bit dangerous. Start under the roof at an inconveniently-situated pointed block. Nip up the wall to the roof and reach a hold on the lip. Pull around and proceed with caution up the rounded breaks to the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Javu P57, Climbers Club Dartmoor (2017) P49, Boulder Britain (2020) P22.

The widest part of the overhang on the left, via an obvious sloper on the lip. Traditionally this has always been E4 5c, maybe it still should be but the crux is definitely a bit on the hard side for that technical grade. There is no worthwhile gear for the crux, and the top section is easier so this route is usually soloed.
