βeta: If it's close to your limit then not a bad idea to do in 2 pitches. The gear on p2 crux is bomber but with a load of rope out you need a decent belayer to keep you off the ledge. | βeta? | |

βeta: On the second pitch, after mounting the ledge you need to head up and right, there's a small foothold you need to get up to, foot swap and then bridge out right to the crack. | ||
