Description
This is a very good route that has a power start and a long slab upper section. It requires some power. Too bad it doesn't continue for 4 more pitches.
Start on a bulgy start to the left of the cave. The crux comes between bolts 2 and 3. Using your feet well is the key. After you clip bolt 3, the angle and difficult eases, fortunately. The middle section is very nice with fun 5.8 climbing on good knobs. The last bit increases in difficulty as the holds get smaller and less positive. If you are a good slab climber, this section won't be too tough. Finish at a 2 bolt anchor with chains.
Note, this is a rope stretcher with a 70m rope.
