Description 

This is the easiest route on the wall, and the only one for climbers who are less than solid 5.10 leaders.

The crux is a few moves of 5.10+ or A0, on the penultimate pitch.

The first four pitches are excellent 5.6 or 5.7 slab on a traverse. The next two pitches go straight up on great rock. The 7th pitch is the crux mentioned above. The final pitch is of little interest, but it gets you to the top!

Location 

It starts at the base of the big ramp on the main wall. Follow the cairns to return to the parking. For a reference, see Jürg Von Känel's Plaisir West.

Protection 

Nice bolted route. Two bolt anchors. Bring a few medium sized cams if you are worried about the A0 move. You can place a .75 BD cam to ease the aiding.
