  We present a first exploratory study of SU(2) gauge theory with one Dirac
flavour in the adjoint representation. We provide initial results for the
spectroscopy and the anomalous dimension for the chiral condensate. Our
investigation indicates that the theory is conformal or near-conformal, with an
anomalous dimension of order one. A discussion of the relevance of these
findings in relation to walking technicolor scenarios is also presented.
