Description 

This route is a little awkward and burly, not necessarily because of the moves required, but rather for the moves you will "probably" be making in distrust and avoidance of certain grainy features. 15 meters left of the left edge of the west face...15 meters left of Cellbound, that is, is a bulge/roof with a left-facing corner and overhead crack present to climb through it. Climb up and over this with the crux being the obvious roof. Watch for loose grains that might spit a foot or hand off.

Descend by climbing up and south over the summit to one of the two possible scrambles that lead down.


Protection 

A standard light rack including a few cams for the crux. Some suspect rock merits careful protection. (With solid judgement or redundant gear, the S rating is lost).
