105m, 3 pitches.
Largely follows the summer description. Start below the gully at some big blocks on the left.
P1 30m 7 Get into the gully & climb until its possible to move out rightwards along a narrow ledge to the arête. From here, thin moves lead up onto a small ledge. Climb the groove above to a gnarly pull on to the sloping ledge above. Move back left to the line of the gully & climb more easily to an equipped stance. It is also possible to climb directly up to to the roof of the cave & pull over this on the right.
P2 30m 6 Follow the gully, over every roof & through every squeeze. Well protected & entertaining, but exhausting.
P3 45m 5 Follow the gully line (common to Rectory Chimneys & Church Buttress) awkwardly at first & then more easily as it widens, up turf to the ridge.

βeta: The stance at the end of P1 is really well equipped & there's a rope sling on a good thread at the stance at the end of P2, if you wanted to abseil off the route. Oh, leave your sacks at the base if you want to make life easier on P2! | βeta? | |
