25m.

Rockfax Description
Originally a hard trad route with a superb headwall, it has been bolted and straightened out a little to give an excellent sport route. The original line started from the right.

UKC Logbook Description
Direct start to White Fright. Start 5M right of Alien and climb the wall right of a flake to a roof. Pull through the roof, step left and climb a short rib to a small roof. After a long reach step right and climb the fine wall via a series of side pulls. The climbing never really lets up till you clip the belay. There is a rest in the middle, however the upper wall is compact, solid and stunning with really continuously interesting climbing. 9 BR + BB

βeta: Perhaps “Direct start to (retro-bolted) White Fright” is the name that describes it best…?

βeta: Agree with StoneyBoy, this retro bolting does not deserve a new name! One of my best routes here, a proud line.

βeta: Although the start is new the rest of the route is the retrobolted version of White Fright which must have been a very serious E6, far more so than the routes on the left end of a similar grade. Not really sure this deserves a new name....
