Rockfax Description
The tufa and wall left of Elendigliches. Popular and good, but awkwardly bolted and quite often wet. © Rockfax

New bolts added, can now climb logical line and ignore awkwardly placed bolts further left.

Got a bit confusing in the middle (there's an extra bolt giving a variation). Took the right hand bolt line but avoided any of the big stuff on the right. Pretty sustained, tough getting over the bulge at the top. with aharrison24 |

Needed to rest above the tufa. The slab above felt like the crux, ok feet but very thin for hands. Couple of short falls with KateA |

Not sure if I took the right line here.. faffed about trying to decide where to go on first attempt so fell off anyway..then did it again and went left, which is possibly a bit close to the 6a+.. but it felt as hard as the other 6c to me? with sss138 |

Not sure how the FA intended this to be climbed, the shiny bolt up and right from the tufa leads you to very easy climbing up a large flake. Not 6c the way I climbed it with stickyfeet |
