Description

Excellent, tricky route. The crux for most is simply getting off the ground. Might want to pad the sharp rocks with a pack...

Location

Climb the right-most arete on the section of wall from which the detached pillar came away. 4th-class scramble to reach easier walk-off.

Protection

PG13-R pro - what gear there is, is sparse and small. It's possible to build an anchor using only static line, but it requires some ingenuity - and a lot of static line.

[Hide Comment] Couple harder 5.8 moves, probably plus. Definitely worth setting up! Oct 9, 2011
