An amazing field. In the center there is a vast rifle with some lines on it for the opening of extremely difficult pitches. Right now there are pitches on rifles with less overhang and slabs. Many routes on slabs, with difficulty 5a to 6a. Three beautiful routes with difficulty 6b/6b+. Height difference of 15 to 25 metres with small approach.
A few routes are secured in a curious way. Safety depends on the height of your shoe as you are in a difficult movement. There was probably no pre-planning, and the bolts were placed at roughly 3 or 4 metre intervals.
