Description Suggest change

Great route! Climbs the right side of the 'Gonda Roof' area, starting by trending right before returning to the left to top out at the same place as 'The Shoe'.

P1 (5.6): Climb up and right through a prominent notch in the rock, following bolts heading approximately 45 degrees up and to the right, ending at an anchor before the climbing becomes more vertical [~35m]

P2 (5.8): Dirty but fun pitch that follows a break up and slightly to the right. After ~15m, look for an anchor up and to the right before getting on the more vertical wall (the next pitch) [~15m]

P3 (5.10a): Step left from the anchor and onto the vertical face climb with some smaller crimpy holds and delicate feet. Climb through fun features (including a nice undercling that turns into a solid flake) before the climbing eases and trend slightly left up to the anchor. Can easily be linked with P2 [~20m]

P4 (5.9): The traverse pitch! Move left on the wall, before making a few moves up and continuing left. Eventually, clip a bolt and follow a small notch up and left before clipping a final bolt and scrambling up into the forest to belay your second from a tree. [~35m]

Descent: Follow the obvious walk-off to the left. Note that this climb is NOT rigged for rappels. 

Location Suggest change

Start is just right of Le Soulier.

Protection Suggest change

Well bolted. 12 quickdraws are plenty if you are not linking pitches.
