Located at the L-hand end of this section below the bulbous, wedge-shaped cliff, Starting on sea-ledge 3m left of Lust for Oil. Move up and right to the obvious flakey crack, follow this to where the crack doglegs left. Step delicately onto slab above and continue upwards and onwards with the aid of the horizontal breaks. A nice flowing line.

I was lucky finding such a nice line, on what was my first trip there. A little bit of gritstone technique pays dividends on it.

This is a cracker of a climb. The friction on the rock is superb, you don't need to look for footholds just put your feet anywhere and they stick. The move onto the upper ledge is interesting. Worth 2 stars at least.

There is a small stance below a roof? (mid height) if this is the same line, excellent Gents. Worth a star or 2! and NO jamming required, HURRA!

Hi Iain, it was done a while ago but sounds right against description. It was an appealing line and I remember enjoying it. Cheers for comment.
