15m.
The right hand crack line of the two lines 5m or so right of the last of the Bowser Wall sport climbs.
Steep thrutchy start leads to the horizontal break and the mother of all flakes! Good cams under the flake, traverse to the crack, plenty of good gear ( if you still have any big gear left) but strenuous to place. Keep pushing up on small holds for feet with your chosen crack attack approach. Airy move to finish with the obligatory tree hug (on the right hand side) untill you’re ready to build a belay. A wee bit more clearing out would be useful, and a few continuation lines available from the tree belay but extensive clearing needed first.
