30m.
Climbed as a mixed finish to Jabberwock when the icicle fringe on the latter wasn't quite fat enough. Start at a hanging belay in a niche at the far left end of the roof, 3m right of the chimney of Outgrabe Route.
Move up steeply and make an awkward move right onto a ledge. Balance rightwards along this to pull steeply through the second bulge on turf and ice. Easier-angled ice now leads to the exit slopes (there are few belay options on the exit slope, it is best to belay at the top of the ice and then run another pitch out).
