50m, 3 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A big challenge. All the pegs are reported to be decayed.
1) 6a, 25m. Start up Naked and Savage to its niche, then traverse out right via an overlap to a hanging stance at its end.
2) 5b, 10m. Climb a corner on Monsters of Rock past 2 pegs. Cross the right wall around the arete to a thread and peg belay.
3) 6a, 15m. Pull rightwards over bulges (thread) then climb up a left-trending crack (peg) to the faultline. Surmount the capping bulge (peg) to reach a bolt belay. Climb out or abseil off. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The route is in a desperate state of disrepair and was clearly an old aid line into an ethical sport route at its time. I have abseiled the line and the first pitch would have to rely on very poor and dangerous pegs, some have snapped and others ready to go. There is gear placements for the first belay but the second belay of a peg and thread is no longer there. I can only ever see the route being climbed again if a mixed bolt/trad ethic was considered.

FA. D.Fell 11.8.1974. FFA. Martin Crocker, Jim Robertson 10.10.83.
