45m. A very amenable route. Jam and bridge up the recess right of Mystery Cat.
An easy 'Extreme Rock' tick. Beware the loose flake at the top.

βeta: Pulled out one of the abseil stakes by hand. Was very wobbly so I knocked stones down the side in attempt to make it more secure. The stake was little more than 12 inches into the ground. Fortunately you can tie off a third stake with a bomb proof cam 4 to make a secure ab point.

βeta: Needs two glue ins in the bedrock to ab off or in the boulders, like Slips has.

βeta: Couple of glue ins in the bedrock to ab off or on the two boulders would be great. Like the slips have.

βeta: one of the stakes at the top is completely loose, someone needs come along with a sledgehammer and hammer it in. I took it out and left it next to the other one.

βeta: It is possible to ab in with one 60m equalised on the two back stakes, you must just be very efficient with rope usage. Also you can see how far the ropes go before you ab, so can readjust

βeta: Abseil into this route. Traversing around from the gully would be very sketchy. Plenty of stakes near the top as of 16/5/21 but you'll need a decent amount of tat to link them up and equalize them (combination of 10m tat, 60m ab rope and a couple of slings was plenty).
