9m.
From the 'Fireplace' niche in the centre of the wall reach to a slanting ledge, as per In The Jungle. Flakes out left lead to a powerful crux to gain two large pockets above (jump off from here as a highball 7A+), then rejoin ITJ for an awesome final move via a crimp and mono to gain house brick slot and the top. The top move is greasy in humid conditions.
First top-roped in 1969 by Al Rouse, as belayed by Nick Parry and witnessed by Brian Molyneux, although AR may have stopped lower than the top of the wall, with a sling extended down below the top. Still AR's ascent represents a cutting-edge achievement for the date and possibly the hardest free moves in the country at that time! Jerry Moffatt made the first ascent to the top of the wall c.1980-82. Recorded in AR's 1976 topo guide as Brit 6a, Not Led and the only route on this central section of the wall. The top edges have been enlarged by wire-brushing/gouging since the 80s.
