30m.
An easier variant on Straight Torquin' with about 7 m of independent climbing that uses an excellent alternative sequence to bypass the hardest move. Climb Straight Torquin' to the big slanting hold. Clip the RH bolt and reverse the steepening groove to the resting place at the top of the short arete. Move up R and stand up precariously to reach a pinch. Undercut and smear up and L to stand on the slanting hold. Finish as for Straight Torquin'.

βeta: I decided not to add any extra bolts as most will try Straight Torquin' first. If they fail on that it is then easy to clip the right hand bolt before going down and trying the other way. | βeta? | |

βeta: A few verbal comments and the comments logged below suggest this should be 6c+ so I upgraded it. | βeta? | |

βeta: Think it would be a good idea to separate the bolts by adding 2 more on the RH rib. | βeta? | |
