10m.
In summer 2019 a traverse line was explored across the leaning, roof-clad seaward face of Petit Tor Point. Sadly, one short section of it was only passable with a few pulls along a fixed rope. But the remainder went as an exciting mix of free climbing (up to about E1 5c) and direct aid on gear/pegs (C1).
As the impasse left a 'non-climb', the line has been abandoned and the fixed gear on the traverse stripped, but the first 10m or so of upwards climbing off the barnacles (marked by a stainless peg and in-situ thread above) persists as a punchy variation E1 5c start to Astraline.
