Begehungen in Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) als Onsight

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

Route definitely feels shorter than 25 meters. Definitely feels like like 15-18m. Regardless, the climb was good.

Super fun. Solid crimps with balancey footwork.

Great climb. The dihedral climbing is a very different style that I recommend every local climber to try.

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.

Really spicy crux move but you basically get infinite rest before you get on it.

Now there is a anchor with two bolts

Nice to have a more powerful route at Beetle's Nest. Still one of the softer 6a routes in the city. Here's a little video of it https://www.instagram.com/p/CdSg0SEjXP6/

Not sure if I lead this correctly as it was intended, felt hard for the grade going left at 3rd bolt.

It's a baby grade but technically my first Onsight!

Leading this is too awkward as it shares bolts with Benissima . Not worth it. But this line has potential to be done with trad gear.
