Description

Immediately right of Persephone is a fine line that starts up on some steep, edgy rock. The technical crux comes off the deck in passing the first two bolts. Continue up on classic Penitente edge climbing. I'd go with two stars for the interesting opening, clean stone, good edges, and rasonable protection. If you are here, it is worth a buzz.

Protection

Half a dozen draws and a rope.

[Hide Comment] The description calls the first two bolts the crux, I thought this was the easiest part of the climb. For me, the crux was the steeper slab moves around bolt four. Great climb though. Apr 29, 2013
