40m, 3 pitches.
From SDD guide: "Right to left girdle of the cliff. Start R of Trembling Wall, below a crack which runs up L of a cruddy groove.
1. 40'. 5a. Gain the crack, which is climbed to a bulge. Traverse LWs across the wall to the dead tree on Trembling Wall.
2. 40'. 5b. Climb to a break in the overhang and go through this to a line which leads left across the wall. Traverse delicately [up and] across to the flake on Hostile Witness, then move up and swing around the corner to a belay in Oak Tree Zig Zag [this basically reverses the crux of Suspended Sentence].
3. 35'. 4a. Follow the obvious line left to join and finish up Central Buttress."

βeta: The photo diagram is wrong. The traverse on pitch 2 goes directly across to the flake after the crux of Hostile Witness not as is shown on the photo | βeta? | |
