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: Lead P1 and P3. P1 now starts as Nitti then climbs through Nitti's anchor then veers right back on route (someone's scratched a V at the start of the route). Fairly sure none of the dedicated ab stations are there any more aside from the intermediate ones but there are rings at the climbing route's anchors | ||

βeta: The start of the climb seems to be wrong on the Rockfax guidebook. A local told me the start is further to the left, on the big clearing at the bottom of the wall. By the time she told me I'd already climbed a few metres on the spot marked in the book so I had to traverse left and clip the second or third bolt of the route. | βeta? | |

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? | |
