38m.
WARNING July 2024: Has lost a significantly large block at the crux possibly not climbable and more rockfall could be possible. The 2015 Wired guide now grades Darklands as a sport route, which seems appropriate with the new bolts that have been added. Perhaps both could coexist on the UKC database so as to allow the route to be logged in its old state and the current one.

βeta: It isn't a sport route - the last bolt is over forty feet from the top! A single set of wires and some slings will be essential for most. | βeta? | |
