3m.
On the exposed corner of Plastic Duck.
Start as The Big Ship with one hand on the far left corner of the low block and the other on the leftmost of the three side pulls. Bump through the side pulls until purchase can be found on the sloper above. Move right across the crimp line to find position under the gap in the roof. Finish as Sweep by moving up through the gap to find purchase on the top of the horn on the right of the gap. Rather than topping out to the left, traverse around the horn to the right using a heel hook, the flaked rock on the back side, and large blocky pinch on the far side to top out on what is usually the downclimb.
Large shelves are out for feet.
See photo for holds:
Orange - Starting hands
Green - Hands
