68m, 3 pitches. Start about 4m left of the Stoat on a large block.

1. 25m. 5c. Step off the block and climb up and right until below a small overlap. From here gain the base of a corner above before making moves onto the left wall. climb cracked wall for 3m before stepping right back into the corner and onto a small ledge. Make delicate moves back left and up to belay on a good ledge.
2. 20m. 5b. Walk right along the clean ledge until it ends. Climb direct to gain the base of a dark left facing corner. Enter and enjoy some wonderful and funky moves. Belay on a sloping ledge just right of the top of the corner (lots of small gear).
3. 23m. 6a. Climb left off the belay and makes moves above a small roof to gain some small spooky crimpy edges. Delicate moves take you up to a large overlap. Climb a short right facing niche passing a peg runner to gain a finger crack. Climb lightly up and slightly left for about 10m. Arrange gear and make some technical moves onto the right wall to pass through a small cracked roof/ overlap and the top.
