40m.
1: Relatively easy climbing to the left of the arête leads to a ramp. Belay at the top of the ramp possible, but better to link pitches if you have double ropes to avoid rope drag.
2: Traverse left on the exposed slab, then pull up when you get to the arête. The harder direct route finishes up the corner crack; otherwise go left around the bulge for an easy scramble to finish.
A tree at the top has a hoop set up high for a lower-off.
