Jay making the move from the left trending notch into the large right-tending flake that comprises most of the 1st pitch. It's long, but a 60m rope can get you from the ground to the ledge with bolted rap anchor where the second short pitch starts. Don't know why this climb would be 3 pitches. June 08.
The view off internationals rappel<br> last climber pull joining knots down to <br> prevent a hang up when pulling ropes. <br> best route ever
