Rockfax Description
A direct variation of Esteban Alteri. Start below the thin groove.
1) 6b, 30m. Gain the groove and make tenuous moves up it to the belay.
2) 6a+, 10m. Climb directly from the belay to gain the ledge above.
3) 6b, 30m. The thin flake above is very tricky. Follow it up to the nose and then back up and right to a groove that leads back left to the tree belay.
4) 5a, 30m. As for Esteban Alteri. © Rockfax
