Tricky topout.

Crispy at the start, vegetated at the top.

Exposed line with a glorious finish. Didn't know that there's a first pitch, seems to be rarely done nowadays anyway. The start is a bit sandy but it gets better soon, good rock tunnel after a few meters, then reasonable slings every now and then. It's true that the route has been demolished quite a bit already, but most of the bigger structures are still solid and the climbing and the view make up for the visual appearance of some parts of the wall. Two slightly powerful steeper parts, with the last moves to the ring being the most strenuous (and here you need to be a bit careful, too, the rib is really thin). Incredible finish in dark black and perfectly solid rock, with around 80 meters of air beneath your feet.
