73m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
Steep and with some interesting and sustained climbing.
1) 4a, 33m. As for Gargoyle Direct. Belay below a slim crack-line that heads up the wall left of a roof at half height.
2) 5b, 40m. Follow Wild Bunch until moves out right gain the top of a pinnacle. Continue to the roof and pass it on the left to reach the wall above. Move up the wall to a corner and crack that lead to the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Superb rock.
As for Wild Bunch to the good ledge and then take the flake crack to the right. After 6m go left to an overhang and over it to climb the steep wall.
