Rock: Loose spike at 40m on left wall

Use extreme caution when passing the large spike (~2m long) on the left wall of the second pitch at around 40m. It is securely lodged in the crack but can easily be pulled-out. If you pull this out it is likely to kill you, your belayer and anyone around the Ramadan belay area.

description

Classic corner, but for many the chimney is the crux!

  1. 15m (18) The slick offwidth to the top of pillar eventually opens up into a chimney with some gear at the back. Some people place runners in the first 5m of Ramandan to protect the start of this pitch.

  2. 55m (20) The corner crack is a stellar line, follow all the way to a big ledge just below the top. Hanging belay possible if you only have a 50m rope.

  3. 6m (17) Short hand crack to the top
