66m, 2 pitches.
Takes a line between No Parrots and The Real Macaw. Start in the same spot as those.
P1 18m 5c/6a Between the first pitches of the above mentioned routes are 2 obvious cracks breaching the roof. Test your wingspan on the left one to reach good holds and the terrace above. Fiddly gear and reachy (aren’t they all).
P2 48m 5b Step up and right to gain and then stand on the obvious orange block a few metres along the traverse of The Real Macaw. A few airy moves up gain the end of the traverse of No Parrots. Follow this into the groove for a couple of metres then follow a superbly positioned ramp out right. This leads to a blocky break. Waft along this rightwards to exit as for Moonshot above the apex of the wall. Belays at grassy ledges. This pitch makes an airy E1 if climbed at high tide or seas from the sloping terrace.
