35m.

Rockfax Description
The left-to-right leading crack-line that crosses the left-hand side of the glacis. Follow the crack-line until at a buddleia tree pursue a line up cracks to a fixed lower-off. Originally the route continued past the buddleia and then headed to the top but this section has now become vegetated. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The obvious rising crack which crosses the left-hand slab of the glacis from left-to-right. Once a few metres past the buddleia, go more directly up to a lower-off (extended down from the large tree at the quarry rim).
