37m, 2 pitches.
Rockfax Description
A wild and exposed initial pitch through the overhangs.1) 5c, 25m. Gain the flake-line and move right into a corner. Follow this to the overhang and traverse strenuously right to a peg. Make a difficult move to gain the lichen-covered wall above, and then go right to a ledge and belay. 2) 5a, 12m. Move up the crack on the right of the belay to a tree. Climb rightwards into an easier groove to finish. © Rockfax

βeta: The second pitch is of not real interest, might as well lower off the shiny bolts at the belay. If you do carry on, there is no belay right at the top. However a couple of metres below there is a small ledge to the right of the shattered crack - small wires and a random bolt make an ok semi hanging belay. | βeta? | |

βeta: The 'lichen covered wall' makes the last move very hard, closer to 6a than 5c. | βeta? | |
