24m.
Thin climbing up immaculate rippled wall. The crux just above the 4th bolt can be made easier by stepping right and back left; direct is best. No lower off at present but it is easy to top out. Use a sling on a spike or a traverse to the previous route can be done if you must!

βeta: Loose flake and corroded snapgate both removed. Sling still in place linking top two bolts (sorry Stirling Uni), screwgate does open so that's still in situ too (as a stopper for the half-hitches in the sling - no proper LO crab or maillon in situ). | βeta? | |

βeta: Felt very hard for the grade more like 6b in my option. Still no anchor in place at the top so please if you are considering it install one! Sadly the once opening scewgate on the penultimate bolt no longer opens and means our mountaineering club sling is now permanently attached to it. Probably openable with a pair of plyers. If you are able to open it I would bin the screwgate but if you could return our sling we would love it back. It has a tough tag on or email us at [email protected]. Obviously bring loads of quickdraws for this route otherwise great fun. | βeta? | |

βeta: Hollow flake just below the crux, nothing too bad but requires care. At the time of ascent there were opening screw gates on the top two bolts so lowering off was ok. There is also a badly corroded snaplink on the top one that needs removing but needs a hacksaw or, possibly, a hammer would break the gate. | βeta? | |
