8m.

Rockfax Description
8m. A technical test-piece, although less so than Ready Brek. Start left of Rubberneck and climb the wall diagonally leftwards (a little lower than you might expect) by a mega-stretch (6c for shorties?). Escape off left. © Rockfax

FA. Simon Nadin 1986.

βeta: Brilliant moves, but is this do-able if you're less than 6 feet tall - it's a huge span left, unless you use 2 tiny intermediate dinks (6c?). Worth cleaning finishing holds from ledge above, as they get grubby (and you can check what you're aiming for!)
