Length

150m

Difficulty

Obligatory difficulty

Route

Pleasant climbing on generally good rock with a challenging last pitch. Difficulties never extreme but the psychological commitment shouldnot be underestimated. The route was established ground-up without resorting to aid.

Access

Approach in 15 minutes from the upper part of Kastraki (old cemetery). Take the same path that leads to Spindel; abandon this and follow a track on the left before reaching the spire. Start at the righthand side of the ledge that cuts across the entire wall.

Itinerary

See topo

Descent

Descend down the route to the left, Linie des fallenden Tropfens, with three abseils. The first is only 10m long.

Gear

Two ropes, slings, 12 quickdraws.
