90m.

Rockfax Description
90m. One of the best in the Cairngorms with some bold climbing, taking a faint crack-line in the slab. Start below the left-facing corner system.
1. 35m 5a Go up easily right for 10m, move left round a rib and follow a crack up to the base of the Thor diêdre, and belay.
2. 30m 6b Swing left onto the rib and move up left to a thin crack-line. Follow this and the slab above to reach a small overlap on the right. Make extremely delicate moves left from some crucial runners, go up into a scoop, then follow a crack to sloping ledges on the left.
3. 25m 5b Follow the right-slanting line to a junction with Cupid's Bow just below its final flake-crack. Finish up this.
