Rockfax Description
35m. A magnificent climb, tackling the big steep face above the start of the ramp. Protection is adequate but difficult to locate. Start 5m up the ramp below a small right-trending groove. Climb the wall right of the groove and move left to a good footledge at its top. The pocketed wall above leads slightly left to better holds and protection in a horizontal crack. Gain the hanging flake above and follow it to exit left at its top onto the final few metres of the scoop of Hang Out, and so to its small ledge. Finish up the thin crack of Voie de L'Amie.

UKC Logbook Description
Scotland's Right Wall gives classic committing face climbing that overhangs 3m in 30m. She is a pumpy number with spaced but adequate protection. 1. 6a. From 4m up the ramp climb the wall right of a small right-trending corner to jugs at the top. Make tricky moves to and from the break to the obvious flake. Use this to exit left into the scoop of Hang Out leading to the small belay ledge. 2. 5c. Step back down and reverse the traverse of Voie de l'Aime to the junction with Gotterdammerung. Climb up and right to a small niche and finish up the crack above.

βeta: The description of the start of the route in the 2020 Wired Guide appears to be incorrect and involves some very bold climbing until the first break (I couldn't find any gear at all). The correct line (as per other guides) is the more obvious line a couple of meters further right, which appears both better and better-protected. | βeta? | |
