Description: The route is bolted, but like an alpine and not sport climbing route. It is recommended to take some friends for better protection. All belays are bolted. From the plate with route name that marks the beginning of the route we climb up and towards the left in the direction of the only tree (III, x). Some meters behind the tree is a belay point on a ledge. From there we climb to the right and up following a 50 m black dihedral that starts with a crack (IV, x,x,x,). Next belay point is on the ledge and from there the route turns 5m to the right and up over a 5 m crack (V, x). Traverse under the overhang to the right 5m and enter a second dihedral with perfect rock (IV-IV+, x, p, p) . Next belay point is on a ledge (x,p,p). From there towards left 5 meters and up 35m (III, II, I) to the last belay point. We are now on the plateau of Sass de Stria and from there one can find a trail leading to the parking place (10 minutes) .
