A massive undertaking if you go all the way giving 500m of climbing. Some great sustained pitches plus some wild exposure higher up and an amazing variety of rock. The name becomes apparent after P11. The descent is a bit of an adventure too. Descent - Abseil straight down the wall for four rope-lengths (2x50m minimum). Follow the ledge out to the arete then make two more abseils to locate a system of ledges and ramps. Scramble down these with care. © Rockfax
