This is currently unclimbable. Typically this is because the climb existed in some state but then changed significantly (e.g. by losing holds) and is now considered a different climb.

Ben lead middle crux pitch. Got to within 20ft of top. Lots of blocks falling from top pitch. Retreat and escape along beach illuminated intermittently by lighthouse. Whole things fell down shortly after. Memorable.
