14m. An exciting climb with just about enough protection. Climb The Asp to the good runners then make a difficult hand traverse (easier for lanky types) to the arete, along a poor set of pockets. Continue boldly up the arete, past a solitary good runner slot (medium wire).

There is a crucial and very good pocket that cannot be seen from the ground. Knowing where this is makes a big difference!!!!
The rock 4 placement is far left of the arete ledge and has to be placed almost blind !!!
The top move is about 5c, but OK.

That should read :

The rock placement is far RIGHT of the hand ledge.

This is definatly 6b and maybe soft E5. You'd come close to the ground if you fluffed the arete move.

Great route though
