29m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A pleasant way up the front face of the Promontory. Start from a small ledge in a corner on the right side of the prow.
1) 13m. Climb the corner to its top and then move left and down to a good ledge and belay below the central corner.
2) 4c, 16m. Move back right and take a slim ramp out to the arete and pull around it. Move up the right side of the arete, past a jutting block, to finish up cracks. © Rockfax
