40m, 2 pitches. Takes a fantastic adventurous journey through the middle of the crag on solid rock at an amenable grade.

Abseil down to the right of the big sea cave and belay at the bottom of "Fistfighter".

P1- Climb down and into the sea cave. Move left boldly but easily for a few meters and then up into the obvious cleft above. Continue easily to a belay. Converse with your belayer through the confessional. In high seas care must be taken not to get a soaking on this pitch.

P2- 5a) Facing out from the belay climb the left (seaward) wall of the cave up an obvious ramp to a ledge. from here bridge across the cave and ascend a crack first to the right then back left to a corner. Climb this and move right at the top to daylight and escape! Bridging moves and holds are used throughout on both sides of the cave.

A head torch may lower the difficulty by a grade whilst big seas may increase it.
