Description:

a fantastic crack leads to a steep chimney, and up to a big belay ledge. pitch 2, either climb in a dihedral or up the rib directly above the belay (recommended, for fun!) then to another nice crack to the top. A supurb climb! -edit- You can climb straight thorugh to the second belay with a 60m rope and enough gear. Runner everything, though, or rope drag is bad.

4 out of 5 stars Long First Pitch

Belay stance is a little scary. Anchor gear goes in behind detached block. Ick.

Good climbing, otherwise. Sandbagged at 7+, probably, like Bastille Crack. Eats gear.

4 out of 5 stars Fun

One of my more challenging trad leads. Finished on the last pitch of Empor. Had to yard on gear to get up the last pitch in pouring rain. :(

Onsight or not? Cracklover says so.
