Description 

The 20m extension of 'I will be back' adds full value to an already good climb. 80m rope is mandatory to lower to the ground. A excellent technical outing that tackles the steep face above the first set of chains and goes all the way to the top of the cliff. Take a good rest on decent holds at the first anchor and then charge straight into the powerful and bouldery technical crux. Keep it together and fight the pump as the bolts seem to become more and more spaced. Clip the anchors, enjoy the great view for a second. Lower down and head into Orpierre for that post send beer.
