13m.
Immediately to the right of Fly hole (Flyte sector) the huge Ivy sheet has been removed to uncover 2 new routes.
Start 'Fly in the Ivy' 3 metres to right of Flyhole in the centre of the cleaned face. Climb up the wall to the peg which gives protection for the crack in the bulging wall above. Careful, delicate climbing gets you over the bulge and to further good protection. Follow the crack line to exit onto the mid height ledge via the earthy groove, belay at the 2 new ring bolts.
Either continue on one of the routes above or abseil off.
A second peg has been added by the first ascent climber following a wire ripping and taking a piece of rock with it. It has been placed approx 2 metres above the first peg, hoping it will attract a few more ascents. Nice route.

βeta: The rock has only recently been uncovered from underneath the ivy sheet and is slowly losing its loose bits. Careful choice of hand and feet holds will make for an enjoyable climb. The route will improve with traffic. | βeta? | |
