Nodes in Mastodon

Mastodon is the name of the cliff line that overlooks D-12. The two most obvious features are the central corner crack that is taken by Hana (6c+) and the prow that is taken by Retribution (7b+).

WARNING: Locals make off with the first bolts of some easier routes in this area. Please make sure to check if the bolt is there or not before you climb so you can make a safety call.

There are plenty of opportunities to add more lines on mastodon ( The wall stretches for quite a ways) and rock neighboring mastodon. There is an easy-ish hike to get to the top of the rock from the left most side.

Climb up to the chains right before the overhang. Dedicated to Junya Matsuura. Thank you for everything.

The steep wall left of Hana (Flower). The project is still awaiting an FA.

Start as for Hana (Flower) before traversing left to the midway chains on Junya's Project.

The blunt prow immediately to the right of Hana. Shares lower off with Hana.

Takes the wall to the left of the gully that marks the right hand end of the main cliff.

Still awaiting a FA. Send it and name it.

Sport climbing and lower to clean. Please report any damaged fixed gear here!

Short climb with the hardest move just before the anchors. Great for learning lead climbing and the easiest route on the crag.

One of the best 7a climbs you can find in Pakistan. Super interesting moves along great features, with the crux near a small runnout near the top that makes it super spicy. Just watch the rope going behind your feet and tell your belayer to give you a nice dynamic catch!

Newest route in the crag. Still super chossy so climb with caution. Belayer 100% has to wear a helmet.
