Rockfax Description
A quirky route with a fully bolted first pitch through the overhangs which turns into a traditional route as it continues up a series of wide well-protected cracks to the summit.
Start as for the bolted Variante Franceschi, on a boulder directly below a crack. Bolted in the lower section.
1) 6b+, 30m. Climb the crack to the roof, pull through this then continue to a higher, larger roof. Climb this direct on good holds then follow the crack with easier climbing to a third overhang. Pull through this to the stance.
2) V+, 30m. Continue following the corner-crack above. Climb the continuation chimney to a ledge on the left.
3) IV+, 50m. Climb direct from the belay in a crack, climb a bulge then continue up easier cracks to the left to a good stance. From here either join the descent from the summit, or continue easily for 30m to the summit. © Rockfax
