8m. Climbs the prominent arete near the South end of the quarry which forms one side of a recessed bay, starting from a raised ledge. A good line with delicate moves.

Start on the RH side of the arete, use a good high slot to swing on to the arete and gain the half-height ledge. Balance boldly up a ramp on the LH side of the arete to finish.

Abseil descent off a tree a few metres to the right (looking in). Sling and wire gate in place.
Likely to have been climbed previously in an earlier era when the quarry was less overgrown eg 30-40 years ago.
