8 pitches, 215m, Medium friends required.
A fantastic route in classic style and reasonably easy. The first pitch is the crux which climbs a corner on flakes and cracks to a crux move protected by a peg. The crux move can be climbed free at VII or VI+/A0. From the 5th stance it is possible to continue directly on the Manolo/Betella variation up fantastic cracks or Flower Power. Cams of all sizes and a good selection of wires needed, there is fixed gear but it is predominantly leader placed.

βeta: The first pitch is really fine climbing up a corner which gradually steepens, until you reach a couple of pegs, both of which look a little worse for wear. I pulled up through the crux using them which obviously drops the grade a little. The final pitches seemed completely unobvious and we were running out of time so finished up Flower Power which in itself is no push over at 6b+. | βeta? | |
