Harder than it looks with tricky feet. Got somewhat lost at the top and chickened out. Will definately come back for this beauty.

Probaby a touch soft, the way I climbed it anyway. It does suit my style though. The climb is somewhat let down by the intial moves to get established onto the arete, on subpar rock. The rest is really good. Draws on but placed the gear, not that it makes any difference.

Loses its third star due to the wandery nature of the climbing. A great route nonetheless. Was touch and go in several sections; haven’t tried this hard for a send in a while.
