45m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
The top pitch is excellent but the first is uninspiring and can be avoided by scrambling up to the pinnacle belay from the left via an easy rake. Start at a short corner below a tree at 5m.
1) 10m. Climb to the tree and ascend the wall on the right to a large ledge and pinnacle.
2) 4a, 40m. Take the rib above the pinnacle to a ledge. Make some tricky moves up the wall to gain the start of an overhung right-leading line of weakness. Follow this until moves over the bulge can be made onto the wall above. Finish rightwards up the wall on good holds. © Rockfax

βeta: If you use a different, direct start, at a blunt rib right of Evening Wall, you can do this as one 49.5m pitch. A bit tight on a 50m rope, though you could belay a little below the top if need be. Only a suggestion for the sufficiently confident.
