45m.

Rockfax Description
The outrageous ship's prow arete overhangs at 45° for most of its length. It has three hard sections with shakeouts in between. The first is a radical groove, then a crack bisecting a series of roofs and finally a less steep arching crack and breaks with tough moves to reach the belay. There are around 22 bolts. © Rockfax

βeta: The first 5 bolts have been replaced with stainless steel Petzl's - There is currently a staple missing from the initial section, which should be placed before the Bird-Ban returns, Rob
