30m.
The third and (usually) final pitch of the longer route on Ao Nang Tower. (There is another pitch to the top, but the gear is old or non-existent, and rock a bit shitty)
Brilliant, exposed climbing straight off the belay leads through a bulge on jugs and flat holds. Incut huecos and pockets on steep orange rock follows, with a tricky thin crux on more vertical ground. Move right past the last bolt, then back left on crozzly tufas to finish. A truly great exposed and sustained pitch. Descent is by 2 abseils to the belay at the start of Orange Chandeliers then reverse the traverse back to the kayak, or it is possible to get straight into the boat with 2x50m ropes and 2 abseils.
