Description
Very good, slick, compact rock. An interesting face that in the correct light appears an almost brilliant green when viewed from below.
P1: Easy climbing leads past a few bolts to a short overhanging section. Once on the slab a few reachy cruxes lead up and finally right to the belay. Good pitch in and of itself.
P2: Sparse holds on slick rock. Crux starts at the second bolt. Gain and follow the easier thin crack/seam that splits the upper part of the slab. Aesthetic open/clean pitch up the middle of the slab.
Another route where using an 80m greatly simplifies everything. In particular, a 70m does not reach back to the belay on P2, whereas an 80m does. There is an intermediate halfway rapp anchor off to the left part way down P2 for those using a single 70m (need to swing - it's intentionally away from the line.)
