Such an awesome route with good length. Feels more on the hard side of a 17, but still fantastic. Has generous bolt spacing to add to the excitement. Deserves more stars

Rachael Led so she could use her new anchor gear to set up a top-rope. The moves require lots of balance as it is quite slabby with small holds. Potentially soft for the grade.

Fantastic climbing. Crux is getting onto the arete. Preclipped the 1st bolt for peter. He led the first pitch, I seconded and led the second pitch. Will need to come back and climb as a single pitch!

Generally the first climb to be done when you reach the Colosseum.
15 is an appropriate grade, although shorter people may find the beginning difficult. |
