30m. A fantastic climb and aptly named.
This route climbs the slim pinnacle a few hundred yards north of Tempest Buttress.
On the south face climb the finger crack up the shallow groove. After the ledges use a short flake crack. Bolt belay.

βeta: Long life belay/abseil anchors installed June 2021 and Shear Sear given a spring clean. Leaving a fixed line down to the stack with ascending kit left on gives a straightforward jug back out after climbing up and abseiling off the stack. If someone could take a knife/lighter/tape to tidy up the abseil rope ends on the top (or some fresh static to replace with) that would be wonderful.

βeta: Purple and green cams in a block on the landward side of the fence, to back up fenceposts for abseil/ Tyrolean. A 60m rope is long enough to ab down from here. But only just!
