Description
Pitch 1 5.7 Climb up and right along a blunt arete to a belay ledge. ~25M
Pitch 2 5.10A Crux pitch, head out left from the belay and traverse through "gifts of jugs" until you reach a corner. Ascend the left inside face of the arete. ~22M
Pitch 3 5.8 Climb up and right passing two bolts to a stance, then continue straight up on steeper but well-featured terrain. To keep the climbing within the grade one will need to keep looking for the largest holds on the featured face. This pitch ends on a small ledge. ~32M
Pitch 4 5.7 Climb this short pitch up and right until you reach the obvious large ledge just below the upper headwall. ~18M
Pitch 5 5.7 Climb up to the slab headwall by scrambling about 10 meters of easy terrain (5.0) and reaching another very large ledge. One has the option to bring their partner up to this large ledge as belaying here would be much easier. Either way, head straight up the slab headwall on some small but positive edges to reach the top. ~38M
Descent:
With twin 60m ropes one can rappel from the top of pitch 5 to the top of pitch 4. The next rappel will get you to the top of pitch 2 and one more rappel to the ground.
With a 70m rope, a bit of down climbing through 5.0 terrain is necessary after the first rappel.
