40m. Start at the tree and bushes 5m left of the foot of 'clutching at straws'.
Boldly climb the arete on delicate flow stone, tree runner, past a hidden borehole (M/L cam) to the right, to a stepped ledge system.
Step up to the foot of the continuing arete carefully, to reach blocks and various protection options.
Continue up the arete above, steeply on suspect rock, turning it to its left, past good gear, to reach a perched blocky flake. Surmount this, thus finishing the arete and trend leftwards to an exit. Pass through bushes, past a substantial tree and 2 rock tiers to reach the left most extreme of the central rib exits. Tree belay at top, fence is becoming delapedated.
