Description
A varied route, offering a mix of friction slab climbing, cracks, and a wicked crux up a flaring chimney. In total, the route covers around 500 meters in 15 pitches.
The route begins with three slab pitches of increasing difficulty. The crux of the third 6a+ slab pitch is a dandy. The route then follows a crack / corner for two solid pitches, before a slightly more humane, slabby sixth pitch traverses left to an anchor below the crux chimney. The faces on both sides of the chimney pitch are horrendously blank, and the chimney flares considerably. Complementing the few and far between bolts with cam placements while maintaining counterpressure is a real test of composure. The excitement doesnt end there, however. Upon exiting the chimney, the pitch veers out to the right on difficult slab territory, with the next protection available only after pulling through the slab traverse. Another two pitches of engaging slab / corner climbing follow, before the route eases off with six more pitches of primarily slab climbing to top off.
