UNCLIMBED. After several attemps (first until A free and to B with AID, next attempt between B and C free) the rock higher up was found to be too frail to continue, so this route still waits for a first ascent. P1(IV): unknown, climbed free P2(V):unknown, climbed free until belay at point A in Topo P3(A1): climbed with 3 points of aid until point B P4(5.11): climbed free, "very exposed and beautiful", until belay at C "Above C looks unsafe, and loose rock, retreated from point C"
