★ Root Route 2.5 {FR} 6a+

Ascend the left-hand side of the wall directly, situated just to the right of the nose, using the two low and rounded oval pockets. Finish to the left of the shallow groove.

The Sandstone is very soft -- leading is not allowed. Most climbs are top-roped, and ropes should be extended over the edge and set up in a way such as to minimize the wear on the rock. Top-out and down-climb is preferred to lowering. Abseiling is, also, forbidden.
