67m, 3 pitches.

Rockfax Description
The major Bosigran classic that combines superb rock, climbing and position in about equal measures. Start at a broken corner below the leaning brown wall capped with overhangs.

1) 4a, 27m. Scramble up the broken corner past a block to a point at which a diagonal break leads up rightwards under the leaning brown wall. Follow the diagonal break all the way to a belay on a ledge at its end. This pitch can seep after rain.
2) 4b, 15m. Climb twin cracks on the left, at first using the left one and then the right to another good ledge and belay.
3) 4a, 25m. Move out left and follow cracks and huge holds up the left wall of the corner, finishing just left of the capping overhangs. © Rockfax

βeta: Great route. We actually started up Little Brown Jug but changed our mind. There's still a bird nesting close to the route so take care not to disturb.

βeta: As the guide stated, seeps after rain. Drizzled only slightly for the first hour of the morning and this route was a water fall. Rest of the crag was bone dry bar this climb. Backed off after the first 15m

βeta: There's a fulmar nest on the horizontal break on P2. If you don't fancy a fishy scent, make sure you climb on the left crack of the twin cracks.

βeta: Easy to do in two pitches by running the top two pitches together. It seems odd that it’s not the standard way to do it given they are in a perfectly straight line and are about 30m combined.
