Graded 5+ (UIAA), this route presents a challenging mix of terrain, including exposed slabs, steep walls, and traverses. Expect sustained climbing requiring solid technique and good route-finding skills. The rock is generally sound, but careful assessment is always recommended.

A typical ascent requires a full day, and proper alpine equipment, including a rope, harness, helmet, and appropriate protection, is essential.
