Probably the best line at Tremadog, and there are quite a lot of 'lines' on this crag. Immaculate climbing in a sensational position with more protection than you might think, but still very airy.
1) 4a, 12m. As for Pincushion to the tree.
2) 5c, 40m. Make a tricky step left onto the arete and climb this boldly to the overlap (long sling runner). Pull over the roof above the chimney on invisible holds, then move back onto the arete above and climb this to the top.

A tricky move left ???. I think you mean right

I went up to the roof, reached high and left for small sharp holds and pulled! Great line. Preferred it to Pincushion.

Oh yes, RIGHT onto the arete at the bottom!
