70m rope required

Start as for the obvious chimney (up corner with 3 closely spaced bolts)

[Hide Comment] Wear a helmet, especially the belayer- this route still has some loose rocks, and when they release, they hit the ledge on the way down and splinter into multiples of shrapnel. Oct 20, 2023

[Hide Comment] The right piece of fixed gear at the anchors is starting to get pretty worn and sharp. It is probably time to replace it. Otherwise, really fantastic route, 4 stars! Jul 26, 2024
