25m.
Start at the double bolt belay shared with Tradewinds. Pull up R into a right facing flake and follow this up to the roof. Pull through this a bit to the R then up and back left towards good pockets and a thread in the middle of the face. Move blindly left from here into a groove and finish as for Tradewinds. Great exposure and well protected.

Very easy to access via an abseil from the top terrace without having to do the sketchy scramble to the lower one as described in the guidebook. It actually shares the finish of Tradewinds via its last 2 bolts and starts from the same bolted anchor so you could do them both .., Cleaned August 2024. | βeta? | |
