Description
Pitch 1: stellar. Climb big hands to fingers. This takes you to the big ledge with a two bolt anchor.
Pitche 2 is the crux offwidth pitch where you go around several bulges. There are plenty of face holds and features, so one doesn't have to do any real offwidth climbing. Bring lots of slings, stretch the second pitch a full 60 meters to gain a ledge (past the squeeze which is slick!), and belay.
Pitch 3: the last pitch is mostly easy terrain, but watch out for extremely loose rock on the last hundred feet.
