6m. The deep slanting cleft - the perfect antidote to the climbing wall - leads to a taxing exit. You will love (or maybe hate) it!

Amazing climbing! I'd be interested who though it was VD. I love this sort of climb and even I know think its HVD or S and the tilted layback start is at least 4a.

A wonderful route! Well worth a quick tussle. VDiff if you like that sort of thing! Three stars!!!

This has never been VDiff. I climb a lot of green chimneys and this was one very tricky at the top. Definitly Severe.

Can either be climbed outside with a tricky layback start from a spike, or (more amusingly) climb the back of the chimney, post yourself through a hole back towards the light and finish round the entertaining narrowing.

An awesome route.
