First belay at a remarkabel stone. Then go further on (50m) to the visible caves. Climb along the second cave to the first hanger  (10m) and then along a crack to the second hanger (17m). From here up to a terrace where the belay is at a hanger.. From this point -over a little inclined slab - crossing right to the summit wall, where a 7m high conifere stands at the bottom of the wall. Here begins the dihedral to the top (22m).
