You can protect the crux with a resonable friend 0 in one of the pockets - this reduces the
'Desmond' potential mentioned in the '89 guide. Good climbing and well protected in the
upper part.

Not sure how good a friend in the pocket would be.
On the other hand, while the desmond ain't no fun I walked away from it (with a bouldering pad) and I guess you'd have to be pretty unlucky to be hurt badly if you use a pad.

friend zero in pocket looks ok, but ripped when i fell on it. also it blocks the best foothold for the crux reach. the fall onto a pad is ok, but high enough to be scary. good route.

Alien is much better holds a fall, was tested.

Placed 2 equalized Camalots C3 (red/yellow) in the pocket left of the red line in the guidebook. Just make sure to place a directional friend in the lower break to asure the rope is pulled straight down in stead of out. This will hold a fall. Nice route to on-sight as its over after the first few metres. Good moves all the way to the top!
