32m. The soaring line of Cave Route Right-hand yields a superb climb. Now 7b+ since being fully bolted in 2018. The main difficulties are the bulge at 8m, exiting the shallow niche at one-third height and the peg pockets below upper crack - these are often wet. A second pitch climbs out of the cave at 6a but is very rarely climbed.

Ron Fawcett 1982.
