Description

Technical climbing with an alpine feel. The bolts are a little spacey on this one but all the clipping stances are solid. The rock changes dramatically halfway, leading to some exposed moves on hard to read holds. This route gets 6a (11a) from multiple sources but recently got upgraded to 7a (11d) which I don’t necessarily agree with. I’ll put the grade at 6c+ (11b/c) for now and see where it settles over time. I personally felt that it was solid 11b, soft 11c. 

Location

No name at the base. Just left of Limonadovy. It’s the last route on the left before a small gap in climbing where a natural depression occurs in the slab ramp. La Moule is your next route left after this one. 

Protection

Bolts, sport anchor (needs attention but reasonable)
