Rockfax Description
A breathtaking pitch of outstanding quality. The technical thin crack leads to a rest below the overhang then traverse up and left until a good horizontal break is reached. Move back right and make a tricky move to gain a good ledge. From here a crucial precarious layaway move leads to the horn and a delicate finish. © Rockfax

βeta: Amazing route, gave me a climbgasm. Dint see the high wires for the 2nd crux but just went for it anyway with my last pro dwindling away in the break at the start of the rightwards traverse. After the hard start the rest of the route feels quite eash IMHO!

βeta: once again my Salvation lies in Rockfax user comments - tired at the end of the day my poor jamming sees me succumb to not quite making the first 12 feet and thinking this was not even the crux I skulked away forlornly - now I see the light I am freshly determined.

βeta: wicked route. technique will see you right up the crack without getting too tired. loved the traverse back across and mantel up. thought i might have got a bit more gear in after the mantle at this grade, but hay ho
