Itinerary description
A very enjoyable day. The first 5 km or so are easy to moderate. The last km is real scrambling and requires confidence up and down climbing on easy 5th class with exposure. The rock itself is generally very good.
The crux requires a 5 m down climb or short rappel (fixed anchor). The easiest way is to go looker’s right down a groove (5.3 or so). On the return you can go straight up on steep rock with good holds (5.4). There appears to be a trail that bypasses the difficult sections to the right (West) by dropping down to the scree.
