Grade: 6b+
Length: 100m
Description: Multi-pitch (P1 6a+ 20m, P2 6b+ 30m, P3 5c 25m, P4 6a 15m, P5 5c10m). Five bolt-protected pitches, but not real sport climbing—rather, a full alpine day out! P1: Climb the white wall right of the red pillar to the 1st belay before the cave on the right. P2: A chimney/corner to reach an overhanging hand/fist crack. Well-bolted. P3: Move out of the cave on to an exposed arête. Beautiful slab climbing, but some loose rock. P4: Continue up the slab following the bolts, moving left at a distinct pillar to find a hidden belay behind a rock on the left. P5: Best to avoid it. Recent report about a very big loose block. Finish 15m below the peak. Return: Abseil down. See diagram on left page. Caution: The rock is loose in places, and the use of helmets is strongly recommended.
