Adjacent Routes
<< Strapiombo < Poor Man's Peuterey  |  Silly Arete > Fingerlicker >>


A route of contrasts - it has roofs, slabs and cracks, wide bits, thin bits and blank bits.
1) 4a, 12m. Climb up grooves and easy rock to a tree at the base of a wide chimney.
2) 6a, 40m. Climb the chimney to the roof then make a testing move left across the slab. Pull up over the roof then climb a crack until a short distance below a roof. Move right to another crack and then right again at another roof to a final crack.

Harder than Silly Arete

eh? E2 5c with a 6a pitch?
Definitely not 6a. You just got to trust your feet.
Best done in a single pitch.
Excellent route
