40m.
A sustained and daring route up the pillar right of 'Wide Eyed' following the thin crack. Start as for `Wide-Eyed' (direct start possible but is escapable) to where it is possible to reach rightwards to a rounded ledge. Climb the thin crack above which is technical and very sustained (good but hard-earned gear) for 20m or so to gain the girdle break. Step right and climb the arete, first on the right (passing a big loose flake with care) then on its left side where bold airy moves in a superb position lead to the top. Micro wires and cams will prove useful.

βeta: Felt about 7a+ to TR and 7b to lead placing the gear, but I think unchalked and unpractised it would feel harder. Absolutely brilliant climbing. E6 rather than E7. | βeta? | |
