Description

A beautiful slab that gets harder the higher you go. Crux comes in the last 30 feet with an interesting sequence. Magic Ed's guidebook has this listed as 5.12a but we felt it to be a little harder.

A 70m rope is not long enough to get you to the ground in one lower. If you only have a 70m rope, you should stop at the anchors of Tanga en T (on the left) in order to do 2 raps (or 2 lowers). Otherwise you'll have to down climb 10m.
