Three pitches: F6b, F6b+, F6b+ The first 45m pitch can be split at a 2-bolt belay.
Start below sunset buttress. Take the line of bolts on the far right (looking at crag). at top veer right. belay. Climb right again into groove. make tricky moves up groove and trend right along break. belay on top of pinnacle. take bolts and pegs up the wall in front of you until an awkward traverse left past two bolts and a finish up a chossy groove on to the terrace.
The steel belay/ abseil cable has now been removed from the tree. Couple of stakes in the ground to belay. Walk off now

βeta: Wish I had read the feedback before the top of the last pitch. I used the rusty pegs in without gear to back it up. The last section is a relatively easy slab after the probable crux traversing on to it. You can abseil from the hoops at the top of the 1st/2nd pitch (at 45m) with a 70m rope | βeta? | |

βeta: Don’t be put off by talk of poor pegs; the climbing at the top is steady and they can easily be backed up by a wire and size 2 or 3 cam, and even without gear the fall with failed pegs would be safe, albeit long. | βeta? | |

βeta: The final piton blew when I stupidly slipped off the top out. There is only 1 piton past the last bolt. It is very run out, take trad gear to protect!! Go steady!! | βeta? | |

βeta: you can't quite reach the ground from the second abseil station, even with an 80m rope, so don't try! | βeta? | |

βeta: There are still two pegs on pitch 4 (just difficult to find) and they've put a new bolt in, so the top section is now fine. | βeta? | |

βeta: P4 only has one peg left on it, you need small cans and wires to protect last 8M. | βeta? | |
