The 'Max' route is known for its sustained difficulty, featuring exposed sections, technical cruxes, and demanding rock. Climbers can expect a variety of climbing styles, including slab climbing, aretes, and potentially some overhangs, depending on the specific variant taken. Protection is generally good with well-placed bolts, but carrying a small rack of cams and nuts can be beneficial for supplemental placements, especially on traversing sections. The rock quality is typically solid limestone, but attention should be paid to loose rock in certain areas.
