Description

Located on the far right side of the Rotwand Wall, this route climbs steep and rotten rock between the obvious cave and the spillway before exiting into a white and slightly more solid dihedral. The crux lies within the initial 20 or so feet off the ground where the rock is steepest and quite loose. Upon gaining the upper dihedral, the difficulty eases off considerably and the rock quality becomes decent. Belay and then rappel from the remains of an old observation platform atop the wall.

Location

This is located near the halfway point between the cave and the spillway. Look for the lighter colored dihedral that marks the top half of the route.

Descend by rappelling from what's left of the old observation platform.

Protection

There is little to no protection available for the crux moves. A groundfall is likely throughout at least the first half of the route and thus warrants an R/X rating.
