41m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
1) 5a, 20m. Climb the tricky, thin crack to a recess (and a cop-out lower-off). Battle up the awkward, leaning chimney to a ledge and possible stance on the left.
2) 4c, 20m. Escape easily to the left, or take the scruffy ramp rightwards to the summit ridge. Awkward descent from here. © Rockfax
