Climb on good holds with good protection. The rock is fascinating. It looks loose, but you find it’s exceptionally solid and takes gear well. Belay before it steepens.

  • P2

  • 20m
  • Trad

Continue to climb directly up, finally joining the arete truely. Belay just before the final section. Can belay here or finish it off.

After a step, scramble to a good belay. Exit by traversing north and descending easier ground north of "Camp 2015".
