10m.
Now fully re-equipped with resin bolts and lower off. This good wee route is located on the right wall of the deep gully just left of the large mooring ring. Access is easier when the tide is out, but it is possible to traverse above the sea if the tide is in. A bouldery start leads to an easier finish on good holds. Starting further up the gully reduces the grade, though it's not entirely obvious how low the original line started due to some scuzzy rock.

βeta: Ditto the comment below. The blocks at the top don’t inspire much confidence. Looks like they would need pinned with rebar and glue which would be a lot of work for a never popular route. Trundling the blocks seems like a logical call but that potentially risks starting to compromise the lower-off, as well as potentially making the finish considerably harder. The lower-off could do with some rings to save trashing ropes with dreaded spirals. Save your rope, take some old bail crabs for the lower-off. | βeta? | |

βeta: The block at the last bolt looks and sounds a bit suspect? | βeta? | |
