Description 

Very aesthetic and fun climb. Several variations exist with varying difficulty. The standard line (WI 3+) takes the center of the flow and moves up and right below the vertical column at the top. The column goes at WI4+. The so-called Chia Direct combines the top column with curtains to the right.

Location 

The center one of the two flows at the back of the Amphitheater. Directly visible from the iron bridge. The left-hand flow is Pegasus.
