Description
Shares the first anchors with Walk of Ages (WoA). Go straight rather than left (WoA) at the second bolt of the second pitch.
We were supposed to climb WoA but ended up doing this route - pretty hard for a 10b we first thought ! We thus did first pitch of WoA before starting this route but there seems to be an independent first pitch ~10m to the left. A combination of information on sendage.com, TheCrag and our experience on the route suggests the following grading :
Breakdown
P1 - 5.9 : Seen on sendage.com
P2 - 5.11b : Crux pitch. Thoughtful, involving and rewarding climbing on mainly small holds. Victory jugs !
P3 - 5.10c/d : Nice pitch with interesting movement. The beginning requires what I would describe as a couple of funambule moves and a victory jug is just great after a couple of slightly precarious but fun moves.
P4 - 5.9 : Quite straightforward. Feels likes you get used to the absence of real footholds by this points. Nice view up there !
Descent
Rappel down the line.
