28m.
This is commonly rated 5.8, but the crux is short and it is not really any harder than The Bastille Crack.
Start from the belay above the first pitch of Calypso. Step right a few feet, then head up the obvious dihedral. Finish over a tricky rock into a ledge with a large rock resting over it.
You can continue to the summit or traverse the strata to the left to the walkoff of Wind Ridge. The easiest exit is to downclimb the ledge to the right, to two bolts to rappel.
After rapping with a 50m rope, there are a few choices. 1) You can downclimb 15 feet to a tree with slings and another 80 feet to the ground from here. 2) You can traverse to the Calypso anchor with a 30m rap to the ground or 25m rap to the top of the boulder, from which you can downclimb. 3) You can downlead Boulder Direct or Recon
