Description

Rating and route length reflects first pitch only. Pitch 1: 4b. Pitch 2: 5c. Pitch 3: 5b+.

Start in a bushy nook. Climb up broken terrain just left of a large bush on the right. Climb up out of the trees to a small ledge, to a right facing corner formed by a flake of rock on the ledge. Top out the flake and continue up a steeper, black streaked face. Up the face to an anchor on the ledge.

Rappel 30m from the first pitch anchor, or, climb up and diagonal left across three routes and up past their anchors to an anchor below a shallow bowl. Pitch 3 climbs up into and above the bowl to an anchor above.

First pitch is a nice area warm up on good rock.

Location

Locate the bushy nook at the base of the crag just right of Clitomine and Clitomax. Route name in blue. Barely left of Les Apres-Midi de Bab.

Route ends on a bushy ledge 25m above that fades into steep face on the ledge’s left side.

Protection

Bolted sport route with fixed anchor.
