Start: Scramble up around the small bulge at the end of the trail.

1. 4th Class to the first anchor, no bolts

2. 30m (5.10c), 10 bolts. The first bolt has yellow chains, visible from afar.

3. 40m (5.12b), 11 bolts. Crux pitch, the crux is within 6 meters and can be stick-clipped, making the pitch around 11b.

4. 45m (5.11a), 13 bolts. Probably the most enjoyable pitch, has a small section of a leaned finger crack.

5. 30m (5.10b), 7 bolts. The most runout pitch.

6. 35m (5.11a), 10 bolts. Avoid the chossy terrain to the right side of the route.

This route was bolted using stainless and tropicalised bolts, take it into consideration when looking for the next bolt.

There are several options for a nice (and long) walk-off to avoid rappelling. The majority of the cruxes are found at the beginning of the pitches, it is advised to pre-clip at least the first bolt before beginning each climb.
