Description
Variety of types of moves. One crux is both creative and a bit strenuous. Second crux is thoughtful and not so strenuous.
Up face through darker fractured rock to reach light-colored bulge below irregular dark diagonal crack. Pull/push over left side of bulge using handhoid in diagonal crack.
. . . Variation: pull over left edge of bulge not using handholds in diagonal crack or on bulge below (but crack or bulge are OK for feet) - (5.9).
Next step horizontally Left above right edge of roof to get your foot over by small notch about 2/3 of the way right from highest deepest point of big roof toward its right edge. Then roughly straight up slab to finish a bit right of three-bolt anchor (or whatevver seems most interesting).
name: A popular less-diffficult multi-pitch route in sector Grand-Orgue in the (bigger) Switzerland

warning
: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.
FA first ascent? The listing of a Top-Rope first ascent does not imply that top-roping is the "appropriate" style for this route. If some party bolts this route and leads it and supplies a careful description of the size and metal-composition of the bolts and hangers - (by posting an Improve This Page or a Comment below) -- they wlll be given first-rank FA on this page. Also they can supply their own new name for this climb.
Location
Top is well left from below the central cliff-top tree and a bit right from the three-bolt anchor. Bottom is on the wide grassy ledge that rises diagonal left-to-right through the middle of the cliff face.
At the right end of the big deep roof, see the obvious irregular dark diagonal crack rising up right-rightward, with a light-colored bulge forming its lower-right boundary.
Start a bit left from below the irregular dark diagonal crack.

Protection
Top-Roping: Likely can use the three-bolt anchor on the left side of the top of the main Croft cliff. There is also a directional bolt on the face diagonal right below that top anchor.
. . (for the type of hardware used in this anchor and directional bolt, see
Description page for this sector 1
).
For ideas about how to get access to set up top anchor, see

Protection for Trad leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
