Grade Route

Unassumingly good. Stand start on in the crack. Follow the crack leftwards until it forks, whereupon follow the crack and face upwards.

FA: Yann Joubert, 2015

The fridge shaped tower between baguette and Graf Spee. Very awkward sit start from flat hold and no lower block makes up the crux (and may be harder than 6... hard to tell as it took ages to sort beta). Then climb face and right arete (no jams) finishing up awesome pocketed head wall. Can be climbed using small edge on bottom block for feet at about V3.

Smaller and more easily managed than the Andersons route Bismarck this nonetheless looks almost identical. Sit start with low left crimp, right arete and hooks to make crux pull on (low ledge/chock is out) then easily to top.

Block just right of Graf Spee.

SDS in the pit, hands on the edge above. Work your way up along the arete, past the highest point and top out on the left face.
