Ascents in West Face

I got the bottom slab after about 4 attempts then stuffed up on the roof and got a cam stuck. Such is life.

Final night shenanigans. This was an experience.

Pretty rad for what it is. Glorious team solo.

Solo with friends!

impossible slab followed by chillaxed roof.

Not used to crack climbing, so it felt stiffer.

Easy slab climbing, then a fun hand-crack. It would be better if there wasn't so much walking up slab to get to the meat of the climb.

Watch out, though, for the walk-off, come prepared to set up (and leave behind) a rap-station if you don't like very exposed hard 4th class to easy 5th class down-climbs.

Mostly not too difficult, though off-width grunty, but with a couple crux sections that played at a lot harder than 5.3.

Also, be prepared the "walk off" is scarier than leading this climb.

A bit of a sandbag. The name is misleading - I chose this for my friend's first ever rock climb having never climbed it myself: a good initiation to old-school "easy" JT routes! We descended in semi-darkness via the chimney near Bussonier.

best approach from NW side

Short but worthy

Simply beautiful!

Worthless except as a down climb from other routes
