110m, 3 pitches. Start under the overhang about 5 metres left of the water marked corner and right of slanting gully.

1. 35m Head up centre of slab and move left to reach a big jammed block at left hand end of overhangs. Ascend crack directly above to a blocky stance.
2. 35m Shuffle right , then ascend straight up on good holds to a ledge. Decent thread here. Now work left up to the next overhang. After overcoming overhang head straight up to a block on a ledge. From there head up a groove and aim for a corner crack to the right.
3. 40m Move back left a bit then ascend perfect slab towards crack and small lance of rock. Continue leftwards up slab to reach obvious ledges. From here ascend obvious cracks to the top.
