Ascents in Egyptian

Not the hardest climbing but hard to protect the start.

Great addition to the crag and Lukenya - lovely climbing. Would say E3 5c as after scoping it out I found the gear to be pretty bomber and evenly spaced.

Hard crux, where I fell. Sadly though the interest is not as sustained as at the other E2.

Definitely felt like solid VS, though admittedly it was my first trad lead in nine months.

Had to take at the bolt because the holds were covered in hyrax feces. Disgusting to clean without a brush. Otherwise felt very soft for the grade.

What a route. Engaging moves without the rope.

Great climb. Some of the best moves on Egyptian and some of the best moves I've done at Lukenya.

Current grade (French 6c) seems fair for technical difficulty though believe E3 is a better description for seriousness. Protection is fairly decent on good rock and this combination with the moves feels more in line with other E3's in the country.

Highly recommend this route.

2nd attemt. Screwed it up right at the end of the onsight attempt.

Great route. Maybe closer to VS than S? As at December 2021 was bee-free, but check from the ground before setting off as there are often nests in the crack.
