Beautiful, 3 bolts of pockets and crimps. Long and strong moves, after the hard stuff nice climbing to the chains.

Shares same start as Badami Delux, heads left. On the left wall of main walk in gully. Super exposed finish

An epic lead by Amrit Appadan supposed by Iniyan Sivaneri bumping up #5 and #6 for a fair distance.

Offwidth crack

The crack starts to the right on the south facing wall, as a hand crack, traverses left and opens up into the crux off-width. Past the offwidth, further short traverse to the left as hand crack and then along a flake and then the heady but easy top- out.
