Please avoid climbing on routes: Empire of the Sun and newly developed routes to the left. The countryside park has made the BMC aware of some vegetation clearance issues, which need to be resolved. During this period please avoid any new developments of the crag.
25m.
Start right of the arete above Wild Blue Yonder. Climb the awkward arete until a thuggy traverse right on the lip of an overhang leads to an awkward exit to jugs. The wall above gradually steepens, climbing with increasing difficulty until a difficult pull over an overhang leads up and left. Finish up the easier black headwall to a bolt belay.
