18m.

Rockfax Description
A cracking pitch with excellent protection. Start at around low tide on a small ledge below an overhang-capped corner on the far right side of the wall.
Climb the corner to the overhang and make a committing move around it to positive holds and a ledge just above. Make a move up the corner at the back of the ledge before moving left around the arete to finish up the obvious crack. © Rockfax

βeta: Avoid the limpets on placing initial gear lol.. straight forward approach to roof..cool exposed position as you move out from the roof, hand jam & foot smears..then a jug to help you along to the ledge above.. remainder of climb still not a push over.. pleased with this lead.. Loved it!!
