58m. The new guide is wrong because this is 58m long not 62m - a small but significant error. This is one of the very few (if not the only) sub E5 routes at the Head that includes zero jamming. It's one long, gorgeous groove with tons of gear that just keeps giving.

Martin Kocsis & George Gilmore May/2008.

βeta: Crazy sustained!! Was getting through until it started raining, then a lot of hauling on the one half rope to get out. Route description says its well protected but I'd say protection is about adequate and a bit funky at that
