description

  1. Climb the square recess up for 4 meters and move slightly right and up to a ledge. Climb the weird short crack section to the proper base of the mountain.

  2. About 10 meters to the right of the crest there is an easy recess/crack. Climb it basically straight up to a roof, moving to diagonally right on the face just below the roof. Continue up and slightly left to the base of an obvious crack.

  3. Climb the crack straight up passing through a cam in-situ. At the top of the crack, continue going up using the face on the right hand side to an obvious corner/ ledge.

  4. Climb broken rock up for about 10 meters. Careful with loose rocks here. Continue diagonally right to an obvious right facing corner.

  5. Climb the corner for 10 meters and traverse right for 4 meters. Continue diagonally right to a right facing corner close to the edge of the cliff.

  6. Climb the short (less than 2 meters) stepped crack and traverse left to a vegetated ledge. Walk and scramble up moving always diagonally left until able to find a cairn. Stance here. A more interesting variation is to climb the crack to the right moving up pass a bush and traversing left around 2 meters above the bush. After the easy exposed traverse scramble up to the small ledge with a cairn (suggested grade, 11).

  7. Scramble up till able to reach the base of a recess/chimney. Climb it to a ledge on the right.

  8. Climb the short crack through a gap to a big vegetated ledge. Walk across it to a face with a big face crack boulder tending towards the left. Climb it to a stance on some big blocks in a beautiful vegetated ledge.

  9. This is the best pitch of the route if you choose to do the 16 pitch. It is obvious once you get there. Climb the crack in a flat wall and continue up on good holds on a slightly overhang wall. Climb the break to the left and up to a good undercling. Continue up slightly to the right and back left to a short ledge. From here you have the option to climb the crack on the far left of the ledge or pull straight up on good holds but not great foot in the first pull. Continue up to a ledge with some big blocks.

  10. Mantel up a small face and traverse left to a crack around the corner. Pull through it and traverse left to an obvious break. Smear and mantel up through the gap to a vegetated ledge. Cross it and scramble up to the base of a big recess on a white face.

  11. Climb the recess to a bushy steep walk section. Cross it and scramble to ledge. Cross the ledge to the base of a big chock stone in a crack.

  12. Pull through the chock stone and scramble up through the gap and up to the top.
