Route Info

This route climbs the south face above the left-most Terrace’s bivouac. This climb is entirely on the south face.

To begin, go straight up above the bivouac, out of the cave, and onto the face where there are two vertical aretes. Climb to the top of these and stand up.

From here, a few desperate moves will get you to the next hold. Once there, repeat these desperate moves to another high hold.

Above that, a horizontal ledge begins the traverse right over a slightly sloped wall. Complete this slab traverse to reach the other side.

At the other side, approach the far corner but don’t grab it. Instead, climb up near the corner on invisible holds. Again, do not use the corner. This climb is entirely on the South Face.

Once you reach the rocks above, finish the crack system to begin the traverse left beneath the roof. Climb all the way to the far end where a pillar is hiding under the vines, then climb up to the brown tree on the left
