30m, 2 pitches.
It's a two pitch route from the quarry floor. The first is about Severe and the second is about VS 4c. The first pitch is pretty solid with great gear and takes you past some "Scotty" graffiti up onto a big tier. The second pitch is down around the corner and climbs the corner behind a gorse bush that's growing out of the wall. It has good holds and gear but there are some loose flakey crusty bits to be careful of. I think I've removed all the larger choss but care is advised. You can ab down from the top using a 70m rope off of the fence posts or approach from the quarry floor.
