650m, 21 pitches. A good introduction to moderate nailing!

βeta: Pitch #12 and half of #13 are due to fall off at some point. Substantial movement was seen and felt in 2018, since when it hasn't received an ascent. Dislodged blocks falling down the back of the huge flake mean that the 'jacking' effect will eventually prise it off the wall - possibly sooner rather than later. When it falls it'll offer a lethal threat to climbers on the lower part of the route and also to anybody using the direct Slab Approach.
