18m. Climb the corner crack right of the smooth slab, step left, and mantel onto a ledge. Gain and follow the right-rising ramp above, and make a hard move to stand on a projecting ledge. Finish up the good crack to a tree.

βeta: Go careful at the rightwards traverse. There is a thread to be had but the block is detached and I wouldn't be keen to fall on any gear there. Having said that, you may hit the slab you just climbed below if you don't put anything in and fall off. It's fairly easy going until you can get good gear in the finishing crack anyway.
