UKC

150m, 5 pitches.

Rockfax Description
Despite some grotty terrain, this is a worthwhile route, and well equipped where it matters. Start right of a groove and rib.
1) 5a, 28m. Climb a rib, trending slightly rightwards to the first bolt, then up the buttress, passing a small roof to a good stance.
2) 5c, 15m. Continue up the slanting crack splitting the wall (4 bolts) then head leftwards past the Arete to a stance.
3) 4a, 25m. Straight up slabby rock, passing ledges to a bay.
4) 3, 25m. A scrappy pitch. Climb to a ledge at 5m, then trend left (red arrows) to a stance below a groove.
5) 4c, 40m. Up the steep corner/groove (bolts) and then continue more easily to a finish up the right Arete.
Descent - Traverse 40m east (red arrows) to the notch. Scramble down 30m a tree on Lofi - abseil down this. © Rockfax

βeta: On P5, climb past the first 2 belay stations until you arrive at the top ledge. On descent do not rappel, instead follow the metal cables and ropes that lead all the way to the ground.

βeta: The last pitch if you stick to arête has a massive loose block. Easily avoided. Be aware

βeta: Beware when abseiling from the top, the rope can stuck easily.

βeta: Lovely little venture out, decent via via ferrata of sorts. I led 1 but not quite to belay point I think because of a misleading stance- dan strung 2, 3 and 4 together then I did half of 5 giving dan the top because of a weird misleading double bolt half way up the pitch. No rack needed, but maybe dots on the rock would help indicate the belay points clearer. Decent via wires and ropes to the ground saved on the abseils.

βeta: Take a small rack if you don’t like runouts. The climbing is easy but bolts are spaced in places. First pitch is longer than 28m! We were close to full length on our 40m rope!

βeta: Great route for entry into mid-length multi-pitching. Well protected, but leave enough daylight hours. We started at around 2pm and ended up abseiling down in the dark. The views at the top are sublime. The second (crux) pitch is well protected, but bring a set of nuts and a couple of medium sized cams if you have them.

βeta: Fantastic views from there. It's a popular route so be aware that other people will want to climb it too. Gets confusing after 2nd pitch, make sure to keep left, else you might join a different route on the right. Pack a lunch to have at the summit! And bring walking shoes to get down with. There is a quick walk route down (past the abseil point, keep following the via ferrata). It's faster than abseiling down. We kept to the right side to abseil down in 2 pitches and by the time we got down, people walked down and were already at the bottom before us

βeta: P1 and P2 can be combined into 1 pitch. Same with P3 and P4. P5 does not end where there are two belay stations, it goes straight up for next 10-15 meters to the final big ledge with abseil anchors. No need to travers to Lofi tree, you can abseil in 3 60m runs (double rope).

βeta: Misnamed, now has "Cilber" written at the base in Red along with number and lengths of pitches. Route finding on route is facilitated by the same tin of red paint.
