A great corner-climb, and as well-positioned as you would expect for this wall. The approach scramble across steep grass needs some care.
1) 4a, 15m. Climb the right-hand crack to a stance in the chimney.
2) 5b, 20m. Move up to an overhang, heave around this with difficulty, then climb the corner above to a ledge. Scramble off easily right to escape.
