A very unique climb at the grade. Tackle the unlikely steepness at the start with some creativity and long runners before launching into the face proper and the further steepening headwall under the roof. 2x u bolts under the roof to lower off.

Starts as for…. Splitting right after the first roof. Bouldery and heroic, the final 5m of glory jugs finish at the very top right of the wall. Bring a few long runners to ease rope drag.
