16m. At last something a tad easier. It follows the steep wall to the weakness through the right-hand end of the large roof. The crux is on the bottom wall but many fall off from high up so remember to use the mid-height rest well.

Very good climbing.Nice kneebar too.

Super climbing that is considerably better than it looks but is just as steep. Hang the sloper, stick in the kneebar or drop your knee on the crux.

Gave this a scrub yesterday and then did it. Totally class, get on it whilst the oppurtunity is there. The bolts are alot better than they look from the floor: first 2 are new, 3rd looks old from floor but is actually pretty new, 4th is a bit rusty but ok, 5th is new, 6th is a bit rusty but ok, then round the big overhang on the main face the only gear is a peg, wouldn't want to fall on this but it held bodyweight, the climbing here is really easy and if the peg where to rip yo would be ok. Belay is ok.
