20m. A fine route that is a bit too tricky for a first E1. Climb the line of steep weakness above the cave, with interesting moves stepping right around the arete before the first bulge, and then trending left to a fine finish left around the next arete at the next bulge. Good value.
If the first step right is avoided, claim 5c.
