Description
Follow the line of bolts up the center of the buttress past numerous weird cruxes. There are often good rests. An intermediate anchor at 90' is a sensible place to stop, but you can continue on at 5.9+ through an exposed headwall. While the "real" climbing ends at the first anchor, the next stretch is pretty fun and makes for a long pitch.This will require two ropes or two lowers.
Alternatively, you can lower from a single bolt & quicklink at a point where things get low angle. From here, with backcleaning, you can lower off with a 70m rope, but it's probably a bad idea to use just one bolt as your anchor.
