Description
This was a long-forgotten route, and is a gem, rediscovered in the 2008 guidebook. It's a good introduction to hard slab climbing.
Climb up past horizontals to a face. Two bolts protect the face (crux, 5.10a) which leads to a horizontal break in the slab. Move right to a fixed anchor (optional belay here). Move up past a bolt and horizontal crack (crux, 5.10b) to a fixed anchor at the top.
Rappel with two ropes (or a single 80m rope).
