No quake damage on this climb
Nice, avoid the big loose boulders at the top 10 metres to the right, need to be liberated

VERY FUN CLIMB
Apart from the fact that this route needs ALOT of lichen and moss removal it is an extremely enjoyable longish climb with lots of positive holds and bolts. A convenient set of abseil/belay chains at the top.
