50m. A good sustained pitch. The lower half has clean rock. The rock on the upper half is sound but dirty.

To the left of Manticore a slabby ramp kicks up towards central buttress. Climb up this via the wall on it's right until a vertical crackline in the wall is reached. The make a big move up and right (crux) to a rail. Continue up and right to surmount the wall and reach a grassy ledge. Traverse left to regain the crackline as it becomes a groove. Follow this trending right to an overhang which is climbed into a crack on the right. Following this leads to a final bulge and a belay near the crest of central buttress.
