Rockfax Description
400m. A fun climb in a stunning position overlooking Lac Emosson that gives the feeling like you are in Lofoten! With a relatively short approach and a scrambling descent, this can provide a good shorter day option.

Paul Sagar	6 Jul, 2022	Show βeta βeta: This is a 3 star route all day long. Get on it! The penultimate grade 4 pitch has bolted belays but nothing in between. However, slings and a couple of nuts protect it no problem. The last grade 3 section also has no bolts and is basically just a choose your own adventure scramble to the top, probably around 80m. Intermediate belays available with a large sling. The rest of the climb is fully equipped, though anyone operating near their maximum might want to take a set of wires to boost confidence as the bolting is typically alpine.	βeta?
