55m, 3 pitches.
During the first ascent, Andy and I climbed direct up the the first stance, not by the vegetated moves on the left. I climbed up just right of the upper stance and moved up and across the wall on left to pull delicately into a short groove, then direct up by two moves to belay. This makes for a much better first pitch. I never did really understand why the route in the guide book took a left hand start.
I always thought that once in the slanting crack above, up and past the ravens nest, the climbing was worth two stars
