Sam leading pitch 6. We anchored the end of the pitch from near the piton marked with an X in the photo. The crux of the route was protected with a BD#3, circled in the photo. Its worth bringing the #3 for this part.

First attempt in 2009. Route in Blue (we escaped after pitch 2 and headed up) Green shows the rest of the route as we believe it goes.
