Starting out on Strie.

Description 

Fun route, with big, blocky and flat cutout holds.

Traverse out just left from the belay area, then up up up.

Initial bolt seems well off the deck, but, the climbing is fairly easy on large holds.

Exposed! A great route especially for the grade.

Watch the rope ends as this is a longer route, and, it can be difficult to keep the rope out of the water puddles at the base.

Location 

Just left of Luassu.

Where the second larger base area (from the approach trail/fixed rope descent) pinches down, this will be the route going out left kind of over the water.

Protection 

Longer route, and, well bolted. At least a dozen or so draws, maybe a few more.

Interesting fixed anchor consisting of two bolts, fairly spread out, connected by nylon cord. Rap off single rapide off lower bolt.
