If you move just 30cm into public pressure at the crux its nice and at the grade.
If you try to stay strictly away from that route and right at the undercut its at least 22, desperate and unhappy.

If these moves were 20m off the deck, it would be 28. But as they're 5m off the deck, 24 seems nearer the money. Kinda important not to escape too far R out of the line. Also, I think we can do better than "Unknown" for a name after a decade, so now it has one.
