Description
Popular route that goes straight up the face for 500 feet. Very good belay ledges. Amazing views and shade in the morning. Route was done all on lead ground up by Paolo Benetti. Most of the climbing is easy 5th class to 5.7 and then there are a few short cruxes up to 5.9. There is some loose rock, especially on the ledges, bring a helmet and be careful! DON'T RAPPEL if someone is below you. The walkoff is much quicker, safer and easier. Though this a comfortable bolted multipitch climb you can still get hurt or worse so act accordingly.
Location
Hike up the gully to Ventana Sur sport climbing sector, and go 200ft further. On your left is the route.
Protection
Bring 10-15 quickdraws or alpine slings. Most pitches can be linked together with enough draws. All anchors have rap rings set up for a single 60m rope rappel. From the top you can walk off using a narrow ledge system that goes down and right towards the route Sirtaki. Look for the sign and cairns to see the ledge descent. It is not a 4th class descent as one comment suggests, rather a simple walk/scramble.
