70m, 2 pitches. An amazing line, as good-looking as any at Fair Head, but the top section beyond the roof could do with traffic. Traversing into the final groove of Judgement Day would give a better finish and a *** route.

βeta: Route is awesome and clean as a whistle atm, fair play Paul! Traverses into judgement day corner after the slabby crack on P2, excellent finish. Also might make sense to belay in slabby crack or just before final corner and do in 3 pitches, rope drag was quite bad at final corner and it has a tricky sequence above a slab which wouldn't be great to fall off with that much rope out. 3* route for sure!

βeta: Gave this a clean (June 2025), good to climb now! Cleaned the traverse into Judgement Day, not the original finish.
