30m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
The abseil line is the safest escape and also a worthy route.
1) 4b, 14m. Climb the crack above the fin-backed boulder to a large ledge and belay at the faultline.
2) 4c, 21m. Climb the next crack boldly around a roof and continue to a ledge on the left. Move right into a corner to finish. © Rockfax

βeta: Plenty of gear on 1st pitch if you're strong enough to place it - hextastic.
