Access is from the lower gorge track. Just upstream from the Mangakara confluence, a short track on the true right leads to the base of the wall. Climb the obvious pillar/arete feature covered in aesthetic ripples, then quest out onto the pocketed wall above, and finish up the amazing friction slab. Has a little bit of everything.
