25m.

Rockfax Description
A top little route although the best of it, the crack at the bottom, is over all too quickly. Lovely holds, flowing moves, loads of gear and fair at the grade. Traverse left for 4m, then follow the thin crack on fine holds to a niche and finish up the wall above. © Rockfax

βeta: Very good route. Felt easier than Elysium and Billy Pigg…but more technical…but more intimidating and atmospheric. So I have no idea what to make of it. Its only my second E2 onsight so I have no guage yet of how they should feel. Either way very enjoyable techy section for first half, easier second half. Great gear throughout.
