15m. A great climb, traverse round over the water and start on the ledge a foot above the water, there is a good rock to put a sling round for belaying. climb straight on up to the overhanging tree at the top. One of the locals claims to do it in 45 seconds in trainers.

Consider removing the trolley directly below the route just underwater before a lead attempt.
