15m.
Follow Blade Runner to the good ledge (top of the groove), then make a couple of awkward moves up the wall above. Step left and climb the prominent hand-crack, which is set in a little corner in its lower half.

βeta: the newer bolt appears to be in quite bad condition (spinning in its hole), enough gear up there to build a safe anchor still but dont trust the bolts blindly as the other two are not amazing either and very old. | βeta? | |

βeta: When it says "hand crack" in the guidebook this is being a little sandbaggy - it's thin hands (purple dmm cam) until the last move or two where you can get a really bomber full hand jams in. | ||
