70m. This route takes the solid blank looking rock on the far right side of the mercury area wall, (70m pitch a pre -placed belay rope strongly advised). Abseil in as for bohemian to arrive on the starting sloping platform. Near the bottom of the platform a narrowing in the gap between the platform and the main cliff, allows for a step across to be made at the narrowest part. This is the start and the line continues with interest straight up past small wires and small cams with an unusual pocket (large cam useful), the climbing gets easier towards the top with spaced gear, care required at the top as no belay on reaching the grass! Unless you have a 70m rope the second has to start climbing across the gap ,the leader has to untie and fetch the ab rope which is not advisable. A stake was placed around 2015/16 which maybe in place further up the slope for this purpose.
