52m.

Rockfax Description
52m. The lowest point of the buttress is an overhanging wall. Start at the right end of this. Make a left-rising traverse above the overhanging wall and where it meets a clean slab, climb directly past the right end of a wide horizontal crack and up intermittent cracks to a wide crack which leads to another slab. Continue directly up the slab, initially bold, and through the upper overlap by a short V-groove on good holds at its right end. Finish at an abseil point hanging from a birch tree. Those with 50m ropes may have to move together briefly. High in the grade.
