Description:

One easy first pitch, the second you have to traverse a little right avoiding a loose block, the third one is a little less easy, the fourth pitch has a tricky move in the middle. After the fourth belay go to a step left protecting with a nut or small hex and get into the real Fun!!! I guess I missed a belay because I found 5th and 6th pitches little long but a 60m rope did the job. The crux (5.9 maybe 10a) is well protected at the very start of the last pitch.

Descent Options:

Absail from a good stance once at the top and facing east (very hard to find) there's walk path you can follow first north then a little bit down you face east.
