12m. Climb the left arete of the buttress, then follow flaky cracks on the left-hand wall as they lead back right to an exposed finish on the arete. A Direct Finish up the centre of the wall is VS 4c.

Technically a doddle, but don't fall off!

awesome but erm exposed solo

Good protection to half way. After that you're on your own. Nothing technical about the climbing if you can cope with the exposure which is a bit hairy higher up.

Agree with all of the above, the finish is in a great position, up with any V Diff on grit (well, maybe not Heaven Crack)
