4 pitches. Behind the generator, the right-most line of bolts leads up as the entry pitch to most of the other routes here. Make sure you have two proper 60 m ropes! 1) Climb tufas up to the capping roof, and make hard moves right and belay (hard F6b+). From here, walk into the cave and left out to a window (possibly worth a rope for the more scared - F5-). 2) Swing out of the left-hand side of the window (looking out), around the arete, and quickly passed the pumpy powerful first 5 m section to easier climbing and a great belay position. (F7a). Note the abseil anchor to the right (looking into the wall). 3) Climb the wall/corner/tufas up and right with no particular crux, and without much use of energy. Odd, but it's probably still a nice F6b! 4) From the semi-hanging belay, step around onto the ledge right, make one hard pull, then finish up the slightly loose rock to a large cave. Lower off (F6a+).

Abseil to the anchor mentioned above, to the right of the end of the second pitch, then pull ropes down, and abseil into the waiting canopy below.
