Description Don't let its height deter you from this one, it is as enjoyable, safe and wonderful to climb as it looks. Start on the obvious holds in the crack, use the block for feet and motor through the low crux to the jug, and a few hand jams later you'll be wishing that it went on for 100+ more feet and you had a rope on.
Location Obvious crack in front of you as soon as you cross the stone wall.

| I'm pretty sure Ward Smith's Rumney guidebook calls this a V0 if you use the boulder to the left, and a V2 if you don't, doing it as a sit start without using the boulder to the left is fun, also there is also a V9 variation where you climb out right at the undercling. |

| The crack is parallel sided, so maybe nuts wouldn't be the best. That long, low angle, crack on the big boulder would be better for practicing with nuts. |
