Rockfax Description
A great expedition with good climbing throughout. The pitches are long and there are some intermediate abseil points on the first two long pitches that should not be confused for the main stances and belays.
1) 4a, 40m. Follow the rounded buttress, corner and wall past a chain to a good ledge and belay.
2) 5c, 40m. Move up left, climb to a cactus and then follow the crack above to another good ledge and belay.
3) 6a, 25m. Climb steepening rock on good holds to a belay.
4) 5c, 25m. Climb on past the final bulges to the top.
Descent - Abseil back down the line of the route using the intermediate abseil points on the long lower pitches. A 60m rope will suffice. © Rockfax

βeta: Uncomfortable hanging belay at the top of pitch 3 can be avoided by climbing up and left past the initial chains for about 3m to a ledge with another set of bolts and chains. Personally didn’t think pitch 4 added anything to the route so if you’re starting to feel ready for a sandwich I would probably ab from here next time | ||

βeta: A bit unclear as to where the first pitch starts - think it might be straight up the rib just to the right of a small black gecko painted on the rock | βeta? | |
