22m.

Rockfax Description
An entertaining route which starts delicately up the perched metal tube to gain the wall. An initial tricky pull gains the wall and eventually the line of bore-holes, which are usually filled with water. An access bolt above allows you to abseil down and dry them out with a rag. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Start by climbing the metal pipe(be gentle), a stiff pull allows one to meander up the lower wall until a hard move left gains access to the line of shot holes . Yard up these with glee to a tricky rockover before the belay.

F.A Jon Ratcliffe 23/07/08 Named by, and in honour of, the Great man himself, the big G, Mr Geoooorge Smith. Originally bolted by George back in the day, not sure which day, possibly a Thursday..
