20m. Superb climbing up the wall to the left of El Niche. Very sustained but very well protected on the upper section. Start just left of El Niche and move up left to protection just above the seepage line. Continue straight up to a wide break, then direct to the leftmost and most defined of a series of intermittent cracks in the headwall. Step right and up to the rightmost crack, then head direct with difficult sustained climbing to a horizontal break near the top. Pull directly up from here to mantel on good incut ledge to finish.

βeta: Thought this was a FA as wasn\'t in SMC guide. Turns out had already been done... The description is poor. I\'m assuming this takes the obvious flake then crack line to the left of all the other routes listed here. It\'s brilliant.
