100m, 3 pitches.
Good climbing going straight through the steep bulging wall left of the guano belay ledge at the end of the original crux pitch.
1. 35m 4c. As for the original line.
2. 40m 5b. Climb the original route past its crux. Where the shallow groove goes rightwards, step up and left to the base of the roof. Undercling lefttwards until the roof can be breached. Climb through this with difficulty then continue up slightly right to a good foot ledge.
3. 25m 5a. Directly above is a cracked groove/corner. Climb this to a small roof and avoid it on the right and go up to below a steep wall. This would provide a good finish but impending darkness necessitated a long traverse left to finish as per the last section of The Gangplank.
