UKC

15m. About 8m right of Lime Chimney. The steep corner line gives a sustained and well protected climb to a large ledge with a tree. Gain the ledge with difficulty and finish up the back corner. Use of the tree for anything other than runners will merit a disapproving 'tut-tut'.
One of the crag classics which has sadly become rather polished.

βeta: High in the grade. Great overall protection throughout most of the climb. However, bouldery start on polished holds with only a small silver nut for initial protection
