Details
Description
Climb the big flake up to and through the schist (the intent of the route is to not stem to the left). Work right onto the nose of the ridge, then follow the bolts to the top. After the 9th bolt, you will come to a block perched on the top of the ridge. It is quite stable but avoid using it. You can easily get by it without using it. Climb up to the left, and over the notch to the anchors.
Location
Starts up the big flake on the left side.
Protection
11 bolts. Rappel anchor on top. Single 60m rope gets you down, barely. Check your ends!
