Route Description
A realtively short and technical route. Climb up on the face using the arete to move past the first 5 bolts. Move to the left after the fifth bolt to a jug rail and make one more move to the top of the block. From here there is one more bolt and some 10b moves to the anchors.
Near the fifth bolt.
Essential Gear
6 qiuckdraws. The anchors are permanent cold shunts, which makes lowering very easy. A 50 meter rope is sufficient.
