65m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
65m. A stunning right-to-left diagonal line across the wall, giving the longest and best route on the peninsula. Originally climbed in three pitches and graded E2 but numerous attempted repeats failed. Start at a big roofed recess just left of the right edge of the wall, gained from the west face by soloing leftwards round ledges.
1. 20m 5c Traverse horizontally left until below the left end of a ledge system. Make hard moves up to gain the ledge, and belay at the right end.
2. 45m 5c Go to the left end of the ledge and up to a prominent handrail, and follow this until it is possible to gain a higher handrail, which cuts through a niche to finish in the corner. A large rack of cams is essential.
