🧗 The routes
The easiest, ideal for beginners: a zigzag climb, then a traverse beneath the wall.
Starts from route A: a very steep ladder (C/D), a slab traverse and an airy exit (B/C). Return via route A.
After route B, on the next rocks: mostly B/C, with C sections at the end. One abseil: guide recommended.
