βeta: Do not climb this route! That's all you need to know here. The loose rock is serious. I'm so grateful to be alive after taking a ground fall a bit more than half way up (~10 m) that luckily ended in a bruise on my leg and whiplashed neck, thanks to almost full rope stretch and my friend's excellent belay. A hold came off and a nut came out (which already was a bit of a run-out) but my very first placement (two cams) was solid. Very close call. This route is chossy! That applies to the placements and to the holds. | βeta? | |
