Description
This route is in the widest crack in the Principal wall. It starts with an easy ferrata-like ascent to the 3rd bolt, where you can lower down or continue. This bolt and route is also used for teaching rappel techniques from the ground. If you continue, you'll get into an off width chimney squeezing you there and back in the wall. Then it gets narrow and pushes you out into a very good hand-jam crack. The crux is, after the crack itself, figuring out the prelast bolt really.
Location
It's very easily visible. Just find the sign or the biggest crack in the wall. It's the fourth rout from the end and the seventeenth route from the approach path. In the climbing guide it's under number 4.
Protection
Mechanical bolts leading to a two chained anchor. No nuts or cams needed.
