Cryptic start to bulge to desperate finish

P1 - Up forth class gully, at top of gully head left to anchor chains. Trad for pro if required. P2 - Bolts, stay on arete. P3 - Bolts, 2-3 Cam reqired for pro near top, stay on arete.

Technical shallow corner to steeper sustained climbing. Several cruxes.

Belay bolt at base. Starts with a tufa hold into 2 nice holes.

Hard start ,vertical , small hand finish

Climbs left of giant tufa to massive roof.

Trends right to two small roofs

The left of the two bolted climbs behind the left side of the pond.

This is the right one of the two bolted routes to the left of the pool.

Face to crack

Ascends white flow stone.Real problem before the anchor .

Two starts, joins the left version at bolt 4

Classic approach:

1. scramble up the rock of the gully to a steel pipe

2. the crux of the climb up the chock stone (you may go left, 5.4 or right, 5.2

3. climb the 12 feet wall on the left of the anchor on top of the chock stone, then hike the path up

4. some easy technical climbing up and hike to the summit

Down: There is a big anchor left (on your way down) for a rappel to the top of pitch 3, then hike down, down climb the short wall to the anchor on top of pitch 2 (chock stone) and rappel from there. With a 200 feet rope you reach the lower steel pipe and you can scramble down but you can also do an intermediate anchor with a shorter rope.

Equipment: take some slings and some medium size cams to protect at least pitch 2, 200 feet (60m) rope recommended

Short route on black rock
