25m.
The second ascent went up the East Face and was climbed in two pitches belaying on the obvious pillar where ascentionists are invited to carve their initials. Mick Fowler has graded this route as “High Rocks 5c”! Say no more! (For people unfamiliar with
southeast sandstone climbing this means nearer 6a!)
1) 5a, 10m. Climb rightwards to skirt overhangs then come back left to a fault leading to an obvious belay ledge.
2) 5c/6a, 10m. Climb up the leaning wall on the right to a resting niche then go rightwards over bulges to a loose finish. Belay using ice screws or lower-off down the far side and place pegs. Simultaneous abseil descent
