This route is the 1st of The Book. Fun easy climbing up to pitch 4 offering good practice grounds for climbers new to multi-pitch. From there it turns into more technical climbing following the obvious chimney. Pitch 1 (5a) starts on an easy small pillar. Pitch 2 (5b) follows a dihedral finishing under a big boulder. Pitch 3 (5b) goes up the cave behind the big boulder into a narrow chimney. Pitch 4 (4) is an easy slab climb towards the anchor at the base of the big chimney. Pitch 5 (6a+) introduces more technical climbing starting on a pillar that then continues into the big chimney. Pitch 6 (6b) continues the sustained chimney climb finishing above a small roof. This belay station is small and exposed, less suitable for climbing parties larger than 2. Pitch 7 (6a) continues on the sustained chimney climb. Pitch 8 (4) finishes the route with an easy climb through the chimney all the way to the top.
