85m.
Tricky little groove on first pitch, often wet, perhaps 5c but good gear. It used to be done with a point or two of aid but I freed it in @1970 with John Kingston. The better pitch is the long top one - a stretched rope-length, up the blunt RH arete of the Staircase. It had very little protection, on fragile-looking rock that was actually sound enough, and the moves and position were fabulous, sustained at 5a and immensely exposed. It's one of the unsung classics of N. Wales, in my view. I think Dave Yates did the first ascent during his time at Ogwen Cottage - great climber with a good eye for a line!
