Exit the climb left, passing over the last bolt before the shuts on Finktion arete.

An excellent climb! I found the crux(es) to be between the first and second bolts and the move to the last bolt just below the roof. I highly recommend this climb.

I stayed right at the top but should have gone left. I do not recommend going right as there are a few very loose blocks (that look like footholds from above!) that are ready to come down and cream your belayer. Other than that it was a decent route..

Although the minor roof does have a bunch of scary looking blocks, Manny and I were unable to dislodge any of those still present. Having said that, choose your own way.
