Pitches

No pitch-by-pitch record survives for this route. If you have climbed it, the logbook wants your topo.

Character

The first route on the tower. Not direct, but with some pleasant pitches and a lot of jungle research and scrambling. Graded TD−.

Gear

2 sets of Friends, 1 set of nuts, 2 × 60 m ropes (50 m works).

Loose flake noted on the topo mid-route, and the abseil is described as complicated. The approach path is overgrown.
