Delightful climbing on the best, strongly eroded and lavishly grippy limestone. Technical. Mostly grade 4 climbing. The closely bolted, short crux section after the small steep wall in the 3rd pitch can be mastered by cowboy tactics: lasso the piton with a sling and haul your ass up (A0). If climbed free, however, emotional control is more important than strength. The slowly fading blue markings help with route finding, for now.
