Description
-
Climb the steps and the dark corner above until it's possible to exit left into a V-grove. Belay at the top of the buttress (there is a not so good rap anchor at the far left end of the large terrace). 5.8
-
Climb diagonally right, zigzagging across slabs until you reach a short corner where it's possible to belay. This pitch wanders a bit and has difficult route finding. 5.8
-
Climb the corner and fractured slabs to a small roof. Step left to surmount the roof (crux) and belay above. 5.9
-
A short pitch leads to the base of the obvious bomb-bay chimney. 5.6
-
Climb the chimney to its top (gear deep inside the chimney - strenuous) and exit left and down to a good stance. 5.8
-
Climb slabs to the left, almost to a large dihedral, then back right to a belay on a ledge. 5.7
-
Straight up through a first overlap then slightly left through another overlap. Belay atop a characteristic block. 5.7
-
Easier climbing straight up to the top. 5.6
Location
The route starts in a depression left of Duet Buttress. Start below a dark corner, at 2 large steps.
Protection
Difficult route finding here and there. The gears are sometimes a bit tricky but it's generally reasonably well protected.
