250 m, 6a
L. Rodríguez, J. Guerrero, and P. Oliva in March 1977
The great classic of the south face. A straightforward route that avoids the final overhangs thanks to a pendulum rappel. Recently, bolts were added to the old original protection, significantly enhancing the safety of this pioneering route. The quality of the rock has also been affected by the passage of time and hundreds of climbers. Essential.
Equipment: set of nuts and a medium-sized cam.

DESCEND
From the summit, through the north face, a beatiful and slippery path descends.
