40m. A stunning, action-packed line involving a great deal of difficult climbing and with the crux at the top. The streaked ramp is slow to dry and can be dirty. Start beneath the base of the ramp. Climb the wall past a bolt to the ramp. At the top of the ramp make blind moves up the steep wall past two pegs to reach the upper of two breaks. Move a little left then climb the fine pocketed wall rightwards past a thread to an intimidating perch beneath the roof. Traverse left (peg over lip - difficult to clip) and pull over the roof to a short wall and the top.
