Description

This route is the most popular of the formation.
Experienced climbers solo the slab aiding the crux (step in the bolt) to the aid.
The first 3 pitches are easy slabs with a small well protected crux in a bulge, to the base of the "head".
Go right around the base until you find the aid line (fixed steps) to the summit.
To abseil, rap the route from the anchors with two 60m ropes. 

Location

Following the approach directions of the area the route line is up the crest of the main obvious slab.
