Description

Not a bad route on a sunny spring evening. A bit dirty, a bit overgrown, but ok. Justin led the 3rd pitch, which has a vs variation. Instead he went somewhere else. At one point pulling off a rock the size of a concrete block, that once it had takedn the bark off his shin rattled down towards me. I kept my eye on it until the last second but luckily it struck another outcrop and spun off mising me by metres.
I followed Justin up onto the shittiest route, crumbling and fallig apart. With only smears for my feet, Ii pulled carefully on loose rock to join him at the belay stance. Ii led the 4th pitch with no gear. Won't bother with this route again.
