One move wonder, difficult jam. Nice crack climbing but very short. | 78m | ★ Good | ||||
Good day on the hill, don't think it deserves the five stars of the book though.
If I climb it again, I'd link p1 with p2 and p3 with p4. |

Bottom pitches before the bivy were absolutely crap and dangerous. Pitches above the bivy were generally very good with only the occasional death block. The second last 22 is awesome and the last 22 also but a bit grumby.
