V4 R | ★ Gee If He Fell From There He'd Really Hurt Himself
Comforting words indeed, yet this was actually said just as the first ascensionist was sketching his way through the high moves of this trouser filler. Off the ledge climb the left side of the arete until a line of fair edges at 4m, then move more easily and more scarily off rightwards. Very bad landing. | 5m | |||
