50m. A nice climb about 25m right of Back Tor Gully (Winter). Head for the prominent roof at just over half-height, with nice pulls linking turf ledges. At the roof, place some gear and step left to a steep groove, climb this for a couple of metres then move onto the wall on the left, using the prominent bucket slot for your feet. Yard up the walls above using long stretches into turf over short rock patches with pretty steep climbing using high steps. When it eases trend diagonally right to a good belay just below the top with pretty solid nuts (as solid as it gets here), then nip up over the top to finish. Needs very solid turf or else it would be desperate and dangerous.
