A bit silly really.
Jump from the top of Obscenity wall to the obvious ledge across the Magic Circle. Has had 2 successful descents, a third ending in hospitalisation. I am unsure exactly where you are aiming for, but here is the original desription so you can work it out yourselves:

Stand atop the left hand spur of the amphitheatre (as you look at the rock) and gaze across the divide to the far wall (the right-hand spur). About a third of the way up the wall, in the centre, there's an obvious foothold that under normal circumstances you'd never fall off and "could quite happily bivvy on as a team of 3". From the top though, that hold is a long was off and it's the target for your feet.

Has only had two successful descents- Andrew Gridley and Paul Pritchard. An attempt at a 3rd descent by Tim Gridley spoiled the 4 hours of plastic surgery he had undergone a few days previously after falling from the back of a truck on the way home from the crag/ pub.
