Two long and interesting pitches up the left edge of the buttress make this route worth doing. Some of the rock needs care. Start at a flaky groove in the centre of the buttress. USER COMMENTS
Although I seconded the first pitch, and I am a fairly confident VS leader, both I and the leader found the traverse to be very fine balanced and utterly unprotect able, allowing a disastrous pendulum swing back onto the initial grove. Suggest HVS 5a.
To do the 1st pitch at VS you need to traverse at low level below the reaching the obvious overlap. Traversing at a high level under the overlap and moving into the groove is a grade harder. |
