90m, 3 pitches. An adventurous line; the top half is approaching XS territory. Lies on the south-west facing wall around the arete from The Way of the Sheep and facing the smaller stack/pinnacle. In the lower part of the wall and starting 8m up is an 8m high right-facing groove; start just down and right of this.

1. 50m 5b Climb the righthand of two smaller grooves to a ledge right of the base of the right-facing groove. Move up the wall above, step left into the groove, go up this to its top and step left onto a pedestal. Climb the vertical crack above to a big break, hand traverse left to gain this then step back right and go up a thin crack to ledges. Walk right to below the big v-groove in the upper part of the wall and ascend carefully to a belay in the slab before the groove steepens.

2. 20m 5b Climb the groove to a good ledge on the right (Camalot 4, Friend 4 above).

3. 20m 5c Continue up to the roof and swing right onto a foot ledge on the arete. Move right along this, go up a crack then step back left and up to the top.
