60m, 2 pitches. Description from Adam Moroz

1) Start just right of left arete and climb groove rightwards to reach a brown flake, make a difficult move up this to gain the base of the crack. Follow the crack (sustained) up through the overhang and belay on the ledge.

2) Bold. Step slightly left and arrange protection then step back right and climb the wall boldly, with a hard move about 6/7 metres above gear, and reach good jugs and gear. Make a slighlty awkward mantle onto the jugs and pull up into the groove which is followed to the top.
