I do believe locals refer to this face and corner climb at Scottish Ale (WI5 M5). The face and corner variations work up and to the right. It takes stubbies and small TCUs, and pins if you choose. Actually climbs very well. The exit has great corner cracks as you stem with feet.

Mixed corner - beta photo2.
Mixed corner route - beta photo1<br> <br> Medium hex for the exit. Wonderful pick moves through the open book with balancy feet. I'm going M7 according the Alpinist def -- <em>Overhanging; powerful and technical dry tooling; less than 10m of hard climbing.</em><br> <br> Yes, it's short, but it does kick back on you & I think it's more technical than something you can overpower. Definitely a pumper.

Looking down the clean corner near the exit.
Topping out on "Scottish Ale" with very little ice on the route at Lincoln.
