Description Suggest change

Although not a true sport climb, the crux is well-protected and after that it's bolted well enough. The climb gets its name from the vertical start, involving some delicate moves on thin holds to reach the first bolt. The bolt protects a similar sequence of moves. Above this, the route goes very easy on low angle slab with plenty of flakes for the hands and feet.

Due to the nature of this climb, one star out of four. But it is well worth doing for the dicey opening moves. Rappel to descend.
