335m, 9 pitches. Two good new pitches linked to give a logical line up the right edge of Central Slabs.

1-3. 90m As for Vixen (-,5c,5b).

4. 40m 5b A fine pitch right of Vixen. From the belay, climb features up the slab to gain a crack and follow this until level with the hanging groove on its left. Step left to climb the groove to its top, then move up and left to a short corner; climb this and continue to ledges.

5-7. 120m Continue more easily to the terrace below Sass Corner. In the buttress right of this are three parallel grooves (Eyes on the Prize takes the middle one). Move up and right to spike belays below a steep right-facing corner leading to an arching roof; this lies just right of the three grooves.

8. 35m 5c Climb up to the roof, pull through this and continue up the wall above, then more easily up cracks and grooves to a large block belay.

9. 50m 4b Continue up vegetated grooves to the top.
