80m, 4 pitches. A wild girdle taking the continuous pale diagonal break from left to right, with increasing difficulty and exposure. Start below the easy starting corner of Brains as well as Braun.

P1: (25m) 5a, Climb the corner to access the pale diagonal fault line. Follow breaks right to a spacious belay on the arête, immediately left of the corner of Where the Taught Wave Hangs.

P2: (25m) 5b, Leave the ledges and continue along the break across the wall. Airy moves around an arête lead to a small belay ledge in the corner of Non Stop Nitty Gritty.

P3: (20m) 5c, Tricky moves of the belay lead to better holds and a rest once around the arête. Continue on the line with a further tricky section as the break crosses an innocuous looking wall. Belay just after this on an obvious ledge in the corner of Layer Cake.

P4: (10m) 5a, Finish up the corner of Layer Cake
