22m.
Climbs the diagonal rib across the face between Jazoo and Brief Encounter. Start up the thin corner crack of Jazoo, to reach a rounded ledge at half height. Arrange gear in the crack (being careful to avoid the tempting but loose blocks at arms reach from the ledge) before questing out left across the obvious but ever-diminishing rib. Place (or don't...) two lobes of a cam in a shallow slot before committing to the crux moves on marginal footholds which lead precariously to a proper ledge on the left side of the face. Finish up the top section of Brief Encounter. A fall from the crux would result in large swing and a likely ground-fall, unless the two-lobe cam placement manages to hold.
