36m.
Start at some blocky little footholds and climb the slab very directly, crossing a horizontal break and a thin diagonal crack, to a ledge. Take a more or less direct line up the slab above to the top. Good stake at top, backups (if desired) are a long way back.
N.B. There has been a report of a fairly large lose block near the top of this route (12 Oct 2020)Feedback

βeta: Not much gear if you stick to the line from the diagonal crack underneath the ledge to quite high up on the upper slab. the climb isn't too hard though. | ||

βeta: Very serious route if you stick to line. Maybe there's gear below ledge but I arrived at ledge expecting something good. Ended up traversing down and left to sapling and using a poor sling around a block on the right - neither of these recommended. Led through scoop but potentially moved into crack earlier than intended, but happy to get there. | ||

βeta: I avoided the scoop half way up - which certainly lowered the grade! | βeta? | |

βeta: A pleasant climb with a couple of nice rest points. Gear generally good. Definitely worth the * rating in the guide book. | βeta? | |
