Description
Obvious problem tackling the groove on the right side of the cave. A few breaks have happened over the years, as mentioned in the guidebook and online. Sometime before 2016, and again in February 2023. Notably, the 2023 break involved the main crimp (the second move) and raised concerns among climbers about the possibility of it happening again, as it had in the past. The hold, which was likely around a 4-finger 10mm edge, reduced to a 3-finger 5-6mm edge.
Additionally, there’s a discussion about a feet-first method that I haven’t been able to decipher.
In 2021, Carlo Traversi established a V12 low-start to this boulder, starting from the lowest point at a jug.
