20m.
This is the most popular variation of the original line, escaping right on easy ledges when the climbing gets intense up the final crack on the left. Lower off via the chains. Graded as per general consensus.
P Hunter 1981.

βeta: With the addition of sedge warbler direct (implying sedge warbler escapes right) this climb should be downgraded to E1 5b as it surely isnt E2 to escape right but going straight up doesnt look 5b at all. I recon it works better to have two climbs, an E1 and an E3? | βeta? | |

βeta: Went right at the top onto the ledge. Seems to be a running theme, dont think direct up that little crack with little holds can be 5b. Good climb though. | βeta? | |

βeta: Would say tech 6a if you stay true to the wall cracks onto the big ledge, without detouring to the right. Have holds fallen off? | βeta? | |

βeta: There's some brand new looking bolts (dust still on the ledge) at the big ledge, don't have to do the chossy top wall any more. | βeta? | |
