7m.
The obvious flake crack leading to the left end of the big grassy ledge about 4m right of the start to The Elevator. The flake is generally solid. Well protected by nuts and cams but avoid using cams behind the middle part of the flake as the edge of this is fractured. Nice climbing up the flake leads to some technical final moves (UK 5b) to rounded cleaned holds at the top. Once these are attained the best option is to use a prearranged lower off from good stakes at the top of the crag and the route length assumes this. It is possible to execute a soily exit up the friable top crud by using a bunny hole but this started to disintegrate after my ascent.
