Description

Beautiful face and crack climbing on upper wall above and left of Ramon and Loomer. Great continuous climbing protected with small TCUs (no bolts). Really cool features, the climbing on the upper wall is stellar.

Easy to TR from new sport route to the left (shares anchors).

Location

Starts in obvious crack chimney left of Total Ramon. Climb up through easier blocky terrain to thin crack system that splits the right side of the upper wall. A 60m rope will get you down.

Protection

Doubles of purple, blue, and yellow TCUs. Bring some bigger stuff for the approach crack. Bolted anchors with chains. Be prepared for an easy runout (9+/10-) to chains above a purple TCU (one could clip last bolt on sport route to the left if desperately pumped).
