56m, 2 pitches.
A more bold, and entertaining exit? through Dexter's crux, traversing onto Clarion P2.
1) 25m. As for Dexter.
2) 4b, 31m. Follow P2 of Dexter up the "thin fading crack" to it's end and establish yourself on the bare slab stopping just short of the overlap. Diverge from Dexter, carefully traversing leftward and slightly down for a few meters (no gear) to extend the bare slab experience as far as possible. Until it abruptly eases off and you can walk the remaining distance left to join the wide rounded crack/runnel of Clarion's 2nd pitch.
