8m. A difficult testpiece. The narrow v chimney left of Square Chimney is hard to enter from below.

First ascent details unclear, possibly Dolphin, Varley and Cook. 1942.

βeta: Great route. First few moves are tough! Fell onto a wire about three moves up, had a few goes at it and got it ground up once I’d figured it out.

βeta: Absolutely massive spiders nest at the top of the crack - gave me the heebie-jeebies and some difficulty in avoiding the Shelob like create that is nesting within - probably shows how few ascents this line gets.
