Access
Park in Magland, near the kiosk located about 100 m to the left of the fire station. Go behind the garages of the buildings, access the old quarry, go up the slope until you reach an old track going up to the right. The track bends twice and then splits in two; continue on the right-hand, horizontal branch until you are a little to the left of the bow; continue upstream through trees and small screes until you reach fixed ropes rising to the right. Climb up steep dangerous grassy slopes following these old ropes in very poor condition, first ascending to the left and then to the right just before the foot of the wall; continue to follow the ropes at the foot of the wall to the right; arrive at a route start, continue horizontally to the right along another rope; climb a steep ledge pulling yourself up on a knotted rope and then cross again to the right to the starting belay.
