Glad I did not fall on this, having placed some small nuts nuts on the seam to the right, a fall before the carrot would not have been nice. The heat made it harder too, but anyway, happy it went!

Awesome mixed route, great mental lead for me personally. Bring full set of nuts and perhaps some small cams, I had a hard time finding placements but there really are many options, even though I suffered a bit!

1h10min climbing, 2h30min car to car. Easy to find the route and beautiful views. Pitches 3-4 are awesome. on the last, I actually did the first half in the corner placing cams, then left a long sling on the last piece to traverse to the variant without much drag.

Wonderful area, nice route, which would receive more stars if the end was a bit nicer. Sunny day after a whole lot of rain the day before. I thought the climb would not be possible but with the wind and sun hitting the wall early on it seems it dries quickly (at least this time it did).

had to downclimb and redo the bottom section to get to the first bolt. some good placements and others marginal. Tried second pitch but felt that a long strech (~10m) without at least a good placement was not worth a try with my current physical and mental condition, as I also could not see the so called jug with a bolt close to it from where I was. Views are nice and it is a humbling route. I look forward to come back and do the second with with more confidence.
