30m.
Another excellent and interesting route taking grooves and ribs about 20 m R of Optimism. Start below the left end of the R hand set of high level roofs. Climb an easy slab then go up through a notch in the overlap to a scoop. From good footholds on the L wall of the scoop move out L to a rib and climb it over grooves and bulges to a good resting foothold on the L below a smooth leaning wall. From the L gain a line of incut crimps high on the leaning wall and use them to gain handholds on a ledge above the smooth wall. Work out how to get stood on the ledge then go up and right to another ledge. Come back slightly left and climb an interesting scoop to a lower off in the hanging L-facing corner L of the upper roofs.
