8m. Basically a boulder problem, perhaps best approached as a solo but beware of the poor, sloping landing! Can be led, although you still have to commit fully to the initial moves. The route takes the slim wall on the left side of The Obelisk, between a chimney on the left and a rounded arete on the right (Nobalicks and Obelisk Crack are just to the right round the other side of the arete). Using a layaway on the right edge of the chimney (no bridging across the chimney itself) and a low undercut on the right, get in balance on the wall and dyno for positive holds up right (possible wires/small cam). A couple more steep pulls lead to an easier finish.
