Sit start.

The rock on the right gets in the way of this problem slightly. Very hard for the grade.

Climb up just right of the crack.

Starts as for Mizō 2 then traverse left to the Jack Poison anchors.

Awkward.

Arete

Considered one of the local classics. A fall from the crux after the third bolt can be nasty and wearing a helmet is strongly recommended as a person died on it in 2012 after falling upside down and hitting their head on the rock. I saw the same happen to another person but they were fortunate enough to walk away from it.

Loose and dangerous rock!
