33m.
A direct pitch up the steep gully wall to gain the brilliant, bold & technical grooved arête.
Climb the vertical crack into the niche under the twin overlaps move rightwards up through the first & then back left on an obvious undercut to reach good holds above which are followed rightwards for 1m before climbing directly to the belay atop Dampers Crack (runners).
Summon your courage - Step right & climb the arête on perfect rock in an increasingly exciting position, finally reaching a good hold & runner (sling / poor friend) some 6/7m above your last. An awkward move left gains good sloping holds and "easier" ground which can be enjoyed to the top, excellent.
