Despite its modest height this route packs in some excellent climbing in increasingly exposed positions. Start at the top of the ramp below the large corner in the centre of the crag..
1) 5b, 30m. Climb the corner, which soon becomes strenuous. At the top of the second bulge, join the diagonal crack on the steep right wall and follow this to a slab. Climb the slab to its end at a bulge. Move around this, high or low, to nut belays..
2) 4c, 15m. Make a tricky move to the right around a rib and onto a small slab. Follow this up to a ledge beneath a short steep wall. Move over this and belay on an old iron ring.
