Route Info

Start far left on the upper level, just left of the tree. Step up then pass the first small roof which puts you into a dihedral then use a couple aretes to find a small edge amongst the foliage.

Step off the ledge left to a thin sloping arete. Follow that up, using a new arete to the left and a foot rest to the right to regain some stamina. Traverse left and up through a lot more foliage to find a long arete that slopes back up to the right. This leads to a nicely sized ledge and get a full rest.

Continue right across a slab face (slowly) to a bigger ledge with big steps that lead to the top out.

A very underrated demo route that expects the climber to know a lot of advanced techniques.
