Description
Active all year round. Routes are ended up with chained anchors, but some are missing them and have a static rope anchor instead. The routes are very short, around 15 metres tall, so 40 metres rope is enough (not like Principal where you'll need a 50 m one). There is a rappeling bolt on the top of the hill. Easily reaching all three routes. Great for the weekend or a new project finding.
Getting There
It's the closest sector of Maitenal. You can get there from parking in 3 minutes. It's the closest steep rock corner you can find. Just get through the gate, turn right and after 20 metres turn left to a steep uphill. After we left, we made some signs making it easier to find, since it's not very favourite spot. You can also see it at the topo map before you enter the second gate. From the parking it's a little hidden by a big Maiten tree.
