Description
Exposure right from the start, a spicy crux, perfect rock and immaculate wall climbing in the upper half: an absolute must!
From the very top of the ramp, traverse out left over space to a small ledge then take a rightwards-slanting crack past two ancient pitons to good nut placements. Build yourself a nest of gear and take a deep breath, then run it out up and leftwards to the base of an open groove, jugs and a very welcome peg.
Crux over, continue up the groove (piton in the rib on the left) on some of the best rock in the gorge. Clip a high peg on the right, then step left around the rib to a couple more pitons. A thin crack leads rightwards to yet another piton and a sting-in-the-tail move to gain the top.
