65m, 2 pitches. The middle of the three parallel crack lines consists of an intermittent double crack system. Starts three metres right of Tainted Elixir.
1. 30m Climb the crack system by a series of ever-steepening steps to a bulging crux. Contemplate the left and right options, choose the right and step awkwardly up on to a small ledge. Reach high for a right tool placement then make a committing pull up and left to easier ground and a belay.
2. 35m Immediately above the belay is a wide, overhanging chimney. Bridge spectacularly up this to easier ground. Step left to a short right facing corner and crack and follow this to the top.
