This climbing route presents a moderate difficulty level with a highly technical move that requires placing a lot of trust in your feet due to their small size and less reliable handholds. Following this intricate movement, there are two small roofs that offer interesting challenges, although not as intense as the initial technical move. Reaching the top requires skillful body positioning rather than pure physical strength, especially when securing the chain.
This climbing route derives its name from a river that forms during the winter months, flowing right in front of the rock face. The route beautifully captures the essence of this seasonal river, combining its dynamic nature with the challenges it presents. The name serves as a reminder of the ever-changing environment surrounding the climb. As you ascend, you'll feel the connection to the elements and appreciate the harmonious interplay between the route and the natural surroundings.
