25m, 2 pitches.
An adventurous climb that, whilst escapable early on, leads to more difficult and committing climbing up the final groove.
1) 4b, 10m. From the small square cut stance on the far end of Flying Wedge Wall, traverse leftwards on huge barnacley jugs and seaweed / anemone feet (requires low tide). Continue leftwards and make a few stiff pulls up a jamming crack to belay on a ledge.
2) 5a, 15m. Make a gradually descending traverse until back below the high tide mark and pull up into a corner. Follow this with some difficulty to the top.
Note, it may be possible to straighten out the traverse by staying low at the crack on P1 and continuing leftwards. Possible belay at the base of the final groove.
