15m. The faint arete between cat's whiskers and the Prominent line of Nijinski. The moves are described as humorous by the SMC - you have been warned!

6c for shorties apparently.

pre-placing protection is advised by climbing cats whiskers to the break and leaning across to the route

used to be E4
