Topping out on the first pitch of Terza Fessura

Description 

Literally, the third crack.

Kinda harder than it looks. Steep start into crack, with a few great face holds.

Steep, juggy with a lower crack leading to a steep upper face with large holes for hold.

Climb the first pitch to the very large ledge/terrace. Finish up on the second pitch to the right of the cave (and right of the route Ibis).

Location 

Third crack line to the right.

Locate the impressive looking Prima Fessure (left most crack/route in this sector), just right is the Seconda Fessura, then, past a blocky area, is Terza Fessura.

Just left of Angela.

Protection 

Mixed bag of fixed gear. Several old, dubious pitons and two bolts. A cam or two will take the sting out. Couple of slings for threads come in handy too.
