108m, 4 pitches. Traverses eastwards mostly below the main break on very good rock with good protection. Access the Boulder Ruckle via The Ramp abseil.

1) HS 4a, 40m. Start as for The Ramp by climbing up left of a black nose, but cross the wall rightwards below The Ramp to a large flake system and climb right and up to meet the main break. Traverse the main break until you can drop down to stand on a jammed boulder in the corner of Jericho Groove.
2) S 4a, 7m. Remove anything from the back of your harness and drop down behind the boulder (the rabbit’s hole) leaving protection for the second. The less slim will need to down-climb the outer west side of the boulder. Swing right and down to belay in a small corner below the widest part of the massive roof.
3) HS 4a, 40m. Traverse right just above the main black flint bands. Belay after a slightly harder move at the base of a short layback and slab.
4) VS 4b, 21m. Up the layback and the wall above (as for Black Sunshine).

FA. David Coley, Pete Callaghan 30/Nov/2013.
