80m, 3 pitches.
A brilliant line following the obvious widening crack running from the bottom to the top of the white crag. Found at the far southwestern point of Rora Head opposite the sea arch you can see from Rackwick Bay. Abseil off blocks far back from the cliff (100 meters of static rope needed) into the non-tidal ledge. The first ascent climbed the route in 3 pitches, but it could be done in 2 with a massive rack. The rock quality is terrible especially on the lower sections and around the roof.

βeta: Pitch 1: E4 5C 30 metres from the nontidal ledge to under the roof. Very sandy and snappy.. Pitch 2: E5 5C 15 metres. Climb through the roof. Very loose talc. There are 2 ways: Howard used 1 point of aid on the wide right-hand crack to avoid blocks above the belayer. I freed the left hand crack. Pitch 3 E3 5C ish 30 metres climb the wide crack. Size 5 would be useful. | βeta? | |
