βeta: Pitch 5 and 6 have presumably been de-bolted (loose rock?) From the big ledge one bolt protects a leftward traverse to gain the 5c and 6a pitches of adjoining route which lead to the top Alternatively it looks like the belays from pitch 4 downward have been set for an abseil descent? Lots of loose stuff and sharp edges would definitely dissuade me from an abseil descent from the top but a walk off around the back towards Symplegades is fairly straightforward (cairned) | βeta? | |

βeta: Nice route with the first belay over the lip (25m up) on some bolts in the vegetated gully P2 only 20m trending leftwards over into a cave belay, P3 - 6b - tricky start with a V shaped 15m ascent to nice belay P4 - good 6a, however, once on belay you’re just below a flat area 10m x 7m with barbed wire fence, Could not find the straight up next pitch on left side of bay, so went left 10m to pick up the 5c pitch of adjoining route. At top a simple 15m Walk along next to other anchors you’ll find ab station on slanting rock | ||
