14m.

Rockfax Description
14m. Follow the superb central crack with good gear and fine sustained climbing - the start is rather perplexing. At the top of the crack, climb the wall up and right for the most fitting finale. © Rockfax

βeta: Good route. Takes some working out. Sustained and harder than some E1s I've done.
