190m, 4 pitches.

Rockfax Description
220m. The original and best route, climbing the centre of the two big slabs. Limited protection on the hard pitches, but there are positive holds and therefore less commitment. Start just left of the toe of the lower big slab, just left of a black streak.
1. 50m 4b Climb direct up the slab, keeping left of discontinuous left-facing corners to a grass ledge below a steepening.
2. 50m Follow clean ribs with occasional steps onto heather to below the second big slab.
3. 50m 4b Climb the centre of the slab through the right end of an overlap at half-height, a long superb pitch.
4, 5. 70m 4a Finish up slabs above.

βeta: Thin on gear, bring Dragonflys and lots of extenders for clusters. There were only a couple of places where it seemed 4b and they did have just enough gear.
