Description
A mix of quality rock, icy corners, and exposed snow. The crux is in the first pitch where corner systems don't get a great deal of sun and can be slippery even in good conditions. The final pitch features excellent pockets on an incredible arete with great exposure. Conditions on this route are subject to variance through the season and across different years.
Location
Approach from below the glacier between Mojon Rojo and l'S, route starts in a tiny gully that turns into a dihedral before transitioning to face climbing. Depending on the season, the middle pitches will involve easy scrambling through steep snowy blocks. After crossing that section the climb flattens out before crossing a ridge and heading up the left arete of the final pyramid.
