26m. A good climb with some interesting dissolution feature holds. Pockets and ledges accumulate soil and vegetation; it needs to be clean to warrant the one-star status. Unusually for the Ravine, it tops-out... Start just left of the level area at the base of the main face, a metre up the bank. Move up into a short groove/alcove, sneaky wire in the roof above. Good footwork and a finger-layaway allow upwards progress and a solution feature jug to be gained at 4m up, thread. Continue directly to an in-situ thread in a small overlap, then tackle the steeper rib above, reaching a recess. Pull directly over the roof on good holds, left of the peg on the lip, then continue up easier ground, bearing slightly leftwards following the cleanest rock to its highest point where a final pull on vegetation lands you at the fence posts to belay.
