30m. This is described in the guidebook as the line just left of the Vestix arete, starting up the thin crack to join the ramp of the Emerald, then finishing up Vestix. The guidebook gives it E5 6a, no stars, and states it is unprotectable until the ramp. In reality, it is definitely 6b and definitely not E5. It is however protectable up the crack below the ramp with difficult to place okish small wires, a small cam and skyhooks. The crux is reaching the ramp where there is very good gear, before more hard moves to reach round the arete and the crack of vestix.
