120m, 4 pitches.
A brilliant discovery linking the big features of the wall via quality climbing at an accessible grade. Start just left of Skye Wall.
1. 35m. 5b Follow the slim corner with increasing interest to gain Skye Wall’s first belay ledge.
2. 40m. 6a A stretch up (crux) gains a line of holds leading right - easy but increasingly bold (thin slings, RPs) - to gain the Skyfall corner with relief. Up this, easing rapidly, to belay on the ramp.
3. 30m. 5c Thrutch up the off-width in the corner (good gear in the thinner crack above), exiting right. Above, a rake leads rightwards onto easier ground and the descent.
