Description

Most varied line in the roof; everything a climber could want. After the ledge, better unclip the first two draws for less drag. Absolutely a great climb! A 60m rope is enough.

From "Rock Climbing Laos, 5th Edition" by Tanja & Uli Weidner and Volker Schoffl.

Middle boulder problem before a nice no-hands rest. Powerful and delicate.
