Description

The wall mainly offers long or very long sport climbing in quite varied, low angle rock, fully exposed to the sun. In late spring with the sun higher in the sky you can squeeze a good morning session in since the sun only arrives at around noon. Most lines start with easier entrance meters followed by different upper parts. Tufas, a lot of crimps, pockets and more tufas. The horizontal band where the wall chances its angle to steeper terrain suffers a bit from softer rock. In general take specifically care after heavy rains since tufas and surface flakes tend to be more breakable in those periods.

History

On an exploring hike day with Carol and Daila we found this abandoned and forgotten wall just after also discovering what is now sector Saturno. Some weeks later i was there and started to equip the first sport-route (Ask for forgiveness). Later in the process while expanding my activities to the left side of the wall i found an overgrown and uncleaned two pitch line that follows the easier possibility through the wall to end up half way in the central dihedral. Seams the Remis where there already years before but luckily didn't continue since anyway most of the lines would be way above their pay grade. Psyched with so many outstanding lines i spend weeks and weeks with bolting, cleaning, reinforcing holds with sika and preparing the belay areas. There is still little potential for lines left and right but the anticipated work behind those further equipment scares me a bit and i prefer to bolt in desperately needed shady sectors.
