Started out on this route, but not sure i stayed on route as i somehow managed to end up topping out on the slab round to the right (Remus?). Probably went right too early.

The twin-crack start is elegant, then the main groove is a bit thrutchy, and I found it a bit gear-light at the top.

Climb was a HS 4b 22m with 1 star was a great climb with everything where you need it when you need it. Protection good, there is a bit of in-situe gear near the top!! Look for a plastic covered wire/cam! Had to Abseil to recover gear as rain crept in on us. ;) All in all a good climb and would do it again!
