130m, 3 pitches.

Rockfax Description
110m. A fine route, best of the three because it climbs up the centre of the slabs. Start at the worn patch, just right of Dogleg.
1) 4b, 30m. Climb boldly up the slab to gain a line of scoops and flakes, trending slightly right to a small gravelly ledge in a heather groove off to the right of the main slab.
2) 4b, 45m. Step left, move up, then follow a wide vein running left across the slab until 5m before a heather groove. Climb up pockets in a slight scoop to reach a flake-corner. At its top, traverse 3m right, surmount an overlap, then follow a line of pockets straight up to a ledge.
4) 4b, 35m. Climb directly up the centre of a big slab (superb but unprotected).
Direct Variation: Even better, but spoils Dogleg as a second route. Start as normal but climb directly up the slab to join Dogleg at the flake-groove. Follow this to where Blank is joined again. © Rockfax
