30m.
A good Swanage adventure tick, worth the effort to do. Calm sea essencial to get to start ledge.
Start by abing out of the lower ledge ( drilled treads and cams on back wall) head out the square notch on it west side left of the overhung corner bunce in to the low washed ledges and traverse right to the higher ledge below big steep corner.
Climb the steep corner on unusual rock until you can move out right of an offwidth section and up on to a good ledge on the right, (old belay, but don't bother) step back left above the corner, the original finish goes straight up here but a but finish is the keep traversing up left under a roof un till a series of steep mantel ledges gain the gap you abseil out off. No single hard move but a few 5a moves along the way and hard to place gear warrants a E grade.
