Description
We did this in three pitches but definitely could have linked the first two together.
The route starts on the Limestone slab, you could scramble up this or do it safely with gear. I scrambled up it and then set a hand line for my partner.
The route begins in the crack system close to the edge of the limestone bands cliff just to the right of long seam leading towards off width. The crux is just above the first part of the crack system. The climb then moves into a slanted off width between the two summits and then into the saddle. From there you climb the crack to the top of the larger summit to the left.
There are chain anchors on the south side of the summit for rappel. There is also small toadstool like formation that is slung with an accessory cord on the smaller pulpit formation.
A 60m rappel will get you down to the limestone slab from both places to rappel.
