20m. One of the best lines in the Peak up the monumental diagonal groove. The climbing is hard and sustained with plenty of knee work and egyptians necessary (knee pads useful). There is a bit of a shake at half-height and the finish requires a long reach. It often spits off attempts from high up which can be frustrating.
FA. Sean Myles 1989. Formerly the aid route 'Monumental Alabaster'.

I did (possibly) the 2nd ascent of this (on aid!). Jim Moran walked past just as Binky was setting off to strip it - Jim gazed up the line and said just one word - "craftsmen".
