55m, 3 pitches.
This takes the corners and ledges which run up left to right across Hidden Wall. Start at a steep wall some
5m left of an overhung corner at the left end of the sea platform. Pitch 2 has no protection, and in the damp
conditions with a big sea running and jammer on the abseil rope was used as a runner.
1. 15m 5b Climb the steep wall past a small thread then trend left to a good ledge.
2. 25m 5b Climb right, up the ramp behind the belay to the base of a shallow corner. Ascend this, awkward
landing to reach a long ledge. Belay at the right end of this as for Absolutely Fantastic.
3. 15m 5c Climb the steep crack in the left wall and finish up the overhanging corner.
