23m.

Rockfax Description
The gap between Pickpocket and The Baldest has some great climbing but the start is very bold. Carefully climb up the slab to an easing and gear at 9m. Excellent and better protected climbing above eventually reaches a bolted lower-off. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Crux sequence is in the first quarter and is unprotected. The rest has spaced gear and is about E1 5a

βeta: Only the start is serious and may justify E2. Once past the first break it’s easier and protected.
