Description
P1 5c Traverse to the left, then straight up past a roof with a nice crack. Easier ground to 2 bolt anchor.
P2 5c traverse to the right for 4 bolts, than a fun exposed move past the arete, than straight up to the anchor for a few bolts.
P3 5c first moves are straight up and a bit polished, than a balancey traverse to the right. Easier climbing to the anchor straight up.
P4 5c tricky steep move of the deck, good holds higher up. Than a beautiful dihedral for 10 meters, two bolt anchor slightly to the right on a good plateau.
P5 6a felt like the other other pitches. Steeper start than a few slab moves and straight up to the 2 bolt anchor under the big roof.
P6 6a traverse under the roof (upper line of bolts easier) and pass the roof to the left. When the bolts run out go slightly right to 2 bolt anchor.
After topping out go up for a few meters to a good trail to the right. After 20-30 meters go back down to the cliff (cairns) and a fixed rope, which leads to a two bolt rappel-anchor.
2x50m rappels to the ground.
