The square-fronted buttress is hard passing the low bulge by a fingery stretch. Using either arete lowers the grade a bit. © Rockfax

βeta: My 'carefully' placed freind 1 decided to rip sending me the 12feet or so onto the rocks below,resulting in me bouncing off one rock on my cocksix to another on my head (i dint have a lid on). it was a very painful second.

βeta: Just one hard move, which is well protected with (carefully placed) Friend-1. Nice route.
