2 Pitch: - there are two possibilities: if the central candelona is well-formed cross to the left. and attaches direttamentecon constant slope of 90 degrees (as we did CANDELONA BEN FORM), then we stop on the left. or rock climb in the gully on the right (vertical) where you can find old rock anchors (to check the seal), at the end of the same cross to the left. to reach a rock where you stop on nails and a fix.
