Description
If you just want to meet the Aliens, and do the big air free rappel down, then this moderate but airy climb might be worth the adventuresome approach. The climb is a rising traverse hemmed in by an overhang above your head and your feet just barely above a big ceiling. Its closely bolted, but even so a fall can leave you hanging just below the ceiling. Prussiks would be needed then to get back up a few feet to continue, otherwise you'll have to be lowered all the way down.
From the top anchor you can rappel off either the center or side of the giant roof. 70 meter rope mandatory and tie a knot. Might be worth having somebody off to the side for a memorable photo.
