J. Martín, I. Lozano, J. C. Romero and R. Sillero in december 2002
Modern route with pitches of great beauty, both of artificial climbing as in free. Its layout, of great beauty, runs diagonally along the west buttress of the Ifach’s Rock. At the beginning of the second pitch, the route reserves a step, quite exposed, which acts as a "repellent" of many rope teams.
Very good route, reserved for competent rope teams.
Equipment: set of nuts, set of friends, and micro-friends. 4 varied pitons, hooks and 4 copperheads
