Approach: The route is situated at conspicuous unmistakable chimney on North corner of J.Fara. Climb chimney in 2 pitches (IV- and III). Beware of loose stones. Walk to base of “open book”, climb it to good stance, then a few meters left to short crack (IV), then easy to top. It is possible to finish after 3rd pitch direct up via more difficult crack (V+).
