Be careful with the first bolt. It won't offer much protection. Should use a branch to stick clip second bolt.

Route was just fine but sort of a pain to clean on top down. Better to just climb it again top rope and take draws off. Tons of rope drag too and an annoying top rope. Cool cave near the top of the route though.

The start is the most physically demanding part on the route. The rest has plenty of good rests. A little chossy from the lack of traffic even though this route has been up for a decade.

After the last bolt is a small runout where you have to move right. I cleaned the way to the anchor a little bit.

The route is still sort of new (not alot of people have attempted this climb) so theres still alot of brittle/loose rock on the route. Helmet recommended. One of the crimps on the first crux broke off so the route is slightly harder now but the grade is really soft for this route. At best, this route is a 7B+. At worst, 7A. Can't tell but definitely not a 7C.

Short climb that starts steep on sharp pockets. Might be soft for the grade, especially if you know where to shake out. Potentially, there's another variation at the 4th clip to the right that might make the route into an easier 7b.

Start with balancy moves and sketchy footholds, up to the tufa with big jugs. It's not easy to pull yourself on top of that with tiny footholds below it if you're taller. Once you stand up on it and get onto the slanted ledge, the rest is pretty easy. Just don't fall down because the runout to the anchor is massive. |

The route is definitely amazing (a classic for Islamabad). There are quite a few places to rest as well. Although, I think the boulder problems (the one at the start and at the end) are at least V4. So I am very confused about how its graded.
