Description
A wild and exposed climb up a deep waterchute. Has everything from easy stemming up a halfpipe to overhanging face climbing. As the chute widens there are good rests, as it narrows there are exciting mantels. And a squeeze at the top.
Rock quality is good at the center of the route, but rock (if it can be called that) can be quite loose to the sides (careful when stemming). Belayer definitely needs a helmet.
