110m, 3 pitches. The SMC topo is very misleading and totally wrong. Description is accurate (except for P2 length).
Following WiRED topo and description will get you to climb the actual line.

βeta: SMC topo for P2&3 is completely off. The first pitch to the first roof is only 30/35m, not 50, and the belay is to the left on the big ledge, rather than under the first roof. Second pitch isn't 15m but 30, and it doesn't just go to under the second layer of roofs, rather goes up the corner to the rght of the overhanging cracks (U-th). Wired guidebook has the description and topo accurate now.

βeta: For 3rd pitch belay from under the hanging groove rather than the big comfy ledge, rope drag was horrendous
