60m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
Good climbing up the crack Spider Wall avoids.
1) 5b, 40m. Start as for Britomartis. Follow Spider Wall up left across the steep wall to reach the base of a steep straight crack above the arch. Climb the crack to the Britomartis belay.
2) 5b, 25m. Continue carefully up the crack to the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
From the ledge at the base of britomartis swing out onto the wall to the left of the crack of that route and traverse left in an increasingly upward manner for approx 30 ft until an open blind vertical crack/weakness is reached, climb this on positive holds, (crimps, layaways and all sorts) and with excellent protection until in another 30ft the wall steepens and the holds reduce in size a little at a small bulge/overlap, surmount this and continue more easily to the belay about 15 ft above.
No info on pitch 2.
A superb route, spacey position, excellent rock, good runners, positive holds and so steep if you fall off it you'll not hit anything and even if you solo'd it you'd fall into the sea, only reason it gets E2 is because of the exposure, worth 3 stars!
