17m. Furthest L line of bolts. An easy wall leads to a tricky hanging groove and an awkward finish.

John Allen (unseconded due to rain, belayed by Nick Taylor) 2018.

βeta: This was actually led by John Allen 2018 without initial hanger in situ (pre clipped next one up) and I didnt second because rain turned heavy. Possibly he forgot to put the hanger on later or had a "hanger shortage" so maybe that is why it was assumed it hadn't been climbed. Second ascent, and named by Mark Pretty who was unaware John had done it because first hanger was missing.

βeta: Harder than 6b+. Appears to be some confusion over first ascent, Nick T said that John led this in 2018.
