25m. A route sadly maligned by the guidebook. The vegetation has been cut back and at its present levels is part of the character of the route (and a helpful runner). The opening moves are serious though not highly technical. The crack above the hawthorn bush is better and more useful than it looks at first glance. The route packs a lot of climbing into a short distance and should be better known.

βeta: Left side of the initial wall is covered in netting. Direct ascent, technical for 4c. Highly worthwhile climb. Not too vegetated, bit loose at the top

βeta: Cleaned out the vegetation on ab today. Liera also chucked off some wobbly blocks from the top on second. Get on it before it's reclaimed, as climbing ground up without a clean would be MOST disagreeable.
