Route Info
Easiest way to reach this route is to rappel down from the upper level near the top most save point.
Buffs were required back in the demo, but the full release version of Tenzen seems to be easier across the board. Still buffs certainly recommend when first attempting this route.
Start from the narrow diagonal walkable area and immediately head straight left - try not to drop down too low, or balance starts to become very difficult.
There is a rest point where you can see the second piton placed in the route screenshot- you don't have to piton here, but it's definitely worth it unless you're going for a redpoint.
The crux is the entire way up the left side. The best approach is to try to wedge yourself "triangle style" in between the sloped sides and hope for the best...good luck!
