UKC

13m. Start about 6m right of Oak Tree Zig Zag at the break in the right hand end of the low over hang. Use the high flake to gain the slab and step left to the rounded cracks running slightly R to L. Follow these to the overlap moving right to exit, above the dead tree.

Note: various people seem to go left at the 'dead tree' through a hard crack - this does not appear to be the described route.

Iain Peters, Dave Garner 1974.

βeta: The photo in the CC Dartmoor guide seems to show the E1 finish up Tiger Tiger; the VS route keeps to the right. One of the photos on UKC has a more accurate topo.
