description
Excellent power endurance route just right of the arete.
Once you get through the scuzzy stuff at the bottom the rock is beautiful, solid and high friction - it leads to some thought provoking moves!
Re-equipped in 2016 and a bolt was added to protect the run-out at the top.

ethic
Mostly sport climbing with the occasional thread. Clearing vegetation is frowned upon and may lead to closures. Abseil or lower off: Don't walk to the top of cliffs as it trashes the vegetation.
