22m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
1) 14m. Climb the pocketed wall left then right into the long groove to the right of the big roof and follow this to a leftward exit to a big ledge and thread belays. Quite imposing but very mild.
2) 8m. Move left and squirm through the boulder-choked chimney to reach the top. © Rockfax

FA. Fred Pigott 1931.
