OMG!!!! One of the best routes I have ever done! Take 15 draws, some medium cams, a set of nuts, and go for it! Look for 'LS' on rock for start of pitch 1

Again.... hard for the grade. Take about 15 bolt plates for this one, and I used a .5 cam in the crack at top. We used this as a way out. Excellent onsight by Bruno.

Loose, chossy and run out! Cool alpine adventure. Took us 16 hours from car to car. We were both climbing non-stop but we must be slow. The grade 14 is a bit stiff. Some pitches felt more like 16's, especially with a backpack on.
