35m.
Serious climbing with some care required with the top grass exit slopes.
Start three metres to the right of ‘ Operation Rib’ climbing the red crack system to a good thread at 12 metres.
Move diagonally left for two metres and jamb up through vertical quartz band, bridging right towards an area of solid rock leading to the overhang.
A strenuous series of moves lead through the overhang to reach a high hanging fist jamb at lip (crux), and from here up the solid grey pillar (thread) to a slender handle on the left, using this to achieve the top.
Belay well back, 60 metre ropes advisable.
