16m. The other great classic of the crag. Climb the pillar and a short pocket wall to the break and some rounded spike runners. Traverse out left into ever-more exposed terrain then make a tricky move (elusive finger holds) to easy ground.

Not HVS 5a. Not too hard for 5b but quite bold, committing and a bit exposed. More importantly another continually interesting classic.

Heavy rain can make the finish sandy and trouser-filling!

Yup, a great route but shouldn't be given HVS due to the gear/nature of the rock etc....could turn nasty if underestimated. A great experience nonetheless!
