★★ The Link HVS

A fine continuation to Covenant, the Great Tsavo Chimney or Falcon, taking steep exposed slabs R of the headwall. Although not technically hard, the poor belay, sparse protection, difficult route finding and complex rope handling make this a serious route. Step across Great Tsavo Chimney to a ledge; move 2m. R to a spike then climb direct to a grassy ledge on L and poor belay, peg (10m.). Move R onto slabs and climb these trending initially slightly R; after 2 mantelshelf moves, go L and down across a holdless slab to reach easier ground above. If climbing on a double 9mm. rope it is best now to untie from one of them, join them together and continue up the much easier ground to a belay a long way back (55m.).
