150m.
From SMC new routes journal:
"A fine direct line following the crest of the buttress and cutting across West Chimney. Start just to the left of the toe of the buttress.
1. 20m Climb a wide crack, sometimes on the wall to the left of the crack to a terrace. Belay on the right below an obvious groove.
2. 40m Climb the groove to a steep exit. Continue up easier ground to beside a hole/cave. Flake Route comes in around
here.
3. 50m Continue up moderate ground to belay by the boulder (above the Arch) on West Chimney route.
4. 40m Climb a steep groove in the arête just behind the boulder to a shelf. From the left end of the shelf, climb up a groove to step right at a spike to another groove. Follow this to a chimney-groove. Climb this to easier ground."
