30m.
Possibly the best climb on the crag (or Brass Calibre).
Climbs the attractive slab and rib right of Brass Calibre.
1. 30m. 5b. Start at base of slab right of Brass Calibre. Climb up to first short groove. (Brass IMP x 2). Move up right to second short groove. (Essential runner at slab edge). Move left on small footholds to the centre of the slab. High above two small dimples allow movement up left to reach some pockets.
Smears are at the limit of friction and pockets quite distant.
At top of slab a good clean, sloping granite ledge is reached. (Possible to belay here) Above a clean rib maintains interest but much easier climbing to the top.
Descent via hidden grassy fault at far right of terrace.
