25m.
Climbs the impending left wall of the final corner pitch of the original route. Hard to believe its not been climbed before but no recorded ascent to date. A superb, well protected pitch in a stunning position.
From the belay gain the obvious left trending flake line. Follow this, then move left and up to a wide crack in the bulging wall above. Gain a thin crack on the right and make tricky moves up the wall to gain a good foot ledge below two parallel hand cracks. Climb these then move right to a wide crack and continue more easily to the top.
