This route could be done in a day by a fairly fast party. The free pitches go very quickly.

If you climb at a normal pace (like me) a good option is to fix all the free pitches and fire the next day. The bivy is plush but a bit low on the route, and hauling would not be to fun.

The upper three pitches are totally classic clean aid following a singular thin crack on a featureless wall.
