20m. Start 4 metres left of 'Man on Fire' and climb directly to an area of quartz. Step up and right to move up to a small overlap (thread) which is passed using an obvious v-slot, before climbing the green headwall close to a thin vertical crack.

βeta: A good route and nice addition to this area. I thought it climbed nicely and gear always when you needed/wanted which is always a rare quality for CD! Whoever dug out some of the vegetation below the bolted belay then covered all the small edges on this route with soil. It should clean up quickly enough.

βeta: Gary is right should say 20m to belay. 40m was an error looking at SMC description for 'Man on Fire'. I wouldn't recommend a further 20m of steep grass...

βeta: Route is 20m, not 40! You could always ignore the abseil anchors on the ledge at the top, and quest up lots of steep grass to the tree if you really want to make it into a 40m route... Still fairly dirty, could do with a bit more cleaning, but not as hard as the neighbouring Man on Fire.
