East Face

This is the second sector of the Pillars of the Wind and it is a great spot after mid-day. There is pleasant shade and plenty of routes. Though, I have to say that the routes appear severely under-graded compared to other crags and there are long run-outs. You should test the waters starting from something much easier than you usual grade, otherwise you're in for an unpleasant surprise!

CAUTION Very dangerous loose block between routes #5 and #6

South Wall

This sector is great for late autumn, winter and early spring time. Sun throughout the day and no shadow. Again, this sector is scarcely bolted and is certainly not for beginners. Long run outs, similar to the East face sector and rather challenging routes despite the grades.

Gamila Wall

Below and opposite the South Wall area there is a shattered cliff and on the other side of this (down to the left) is an overhanging wall with Riders On The Storms free project by Karsten Oelze. This overhanging wall, the Gamila Wall, is perfect for further development on the higher grade.
