A nice climb with several very enjoyable points. Description: Start up crack (III-) then left into wider crack (30m) towards two Pillars – stones on the right. Follow left of it through mantle [slab] into upper crack (V+), then more pitch (III+) heading for two cracks. Follow the left crack identifiable by chimney with chockstone (V+). Continue one more pitch of (III+) 10m of poorly protected face climbing (6a cru10). Turn right and up to chimney, climb on right side the fissure. Piton left in place at end of fissure then easy scramble to top.
