Rockfax Description
An inspiring route that tackles the full length of the back wall of the bay. Start on the grey slabs below and left of the vast orange scoop in the back wall. Belay at the treeline or scramble up to where the wall steepens. The first bolt is an old one.
1) 6a. Climb the wall to a stance below a steeper section of wall.
2) 6c (6a/A0 ). Make a hard pull past the steep section (slightly easier on the left) and continue to a stance.
3) 5c. Climb to a stance on a ledge with trees.
4) 6a. Climb straight past an overhang to a ledge (optional stance). Traverse right to a small stance below a corner.
5) 5c. Traverse right for 8m then climb directly up the wall to the cliff top.
Descent - Single 70m rope minimum. Abseil from top of Sol Solet to the shared belay with Princesa. Continue down Princesa to a tree ledge stance. Continue down Princesa to the top of the second pitch. Two further abseils down Princesa to the ground. © Rockfax

βeta: The crux of the 6c pitch has been rebolted slightly left. It climbs better and is more like 6a. | βeta? | |

βeta: In the guide it says the crag is in shade for most of the day, this route comes into the sun around 1330/1400. The pitch descriptions don't really match up with the route, find the shiny line of bolts leading up the approach slab and follow those to the top. | βeta? | |

βeta: Beware! An excellent line though on windy days significant rockfall comes down the left side of the wall from the trees blowing in the wind high above hense the rock scars at the bottom. | βeta? | |
