50m, 2 pitches.
Enjoyable bold climbing, low in the grade. Straightens out the original line (Paradise Regained). The second pitch is less good and it would be better to abseil from the block or scramble off right.
1. 30m 5b Follow the original route past the chimney to the ledge on the right and arrange protection. Step left and up onto a good foothold before making some hard moves on slopers (bold) to a good ledge and gear. Continue direct to join the rib leading to the jammed block.
2. 20m 5a Step off the block and move up left across the red wall (hidden holds) to reach a ledge. Climb up the short arete before trending back rightward to the top.
