A perfectly pleasing classic line. Scramble up from Kraftwerk to belay. Jam or layback the tight hand crack, finger jam or layback the crux section, followed by a hand crack to the top.
Climb the wide jam crack to the top and abseil off a tree further back (you'll probably need a 60m rope to reach the ground).
