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

P1: 5.10c. 25 meters, 8 + 2 bolts.

The takeoff is the crux. If the start feels harder than the 5.10C, that is probably because you may have not got the beta. Not a straightforward move. The grade eases up progressively after the takeoff, in increments of a grade.

P2: 5.7. 16 meters. 3 + 0 bolts.

Traverse right on the ledge towards the chimney, after pitch one. Pitch two ends on a massive ledge. Anchor using the boulders on the ledge and bring up the second. Walk towards the right to exit, or continue route number three (Mastaan), which is to the left side of the ledge.

Ground up route by Sohan, Poonacha, Medappa, Supriya Singh and Aditi Kodipady.

First 20 feet includes a 5.10b/c technical crux. The first overhanging bulge which comes up at the 20 odd feet mark is actually more benign than it looks. The next 20 odd feet reminds of you famous Bangalore slab climbing.

The next overhanging bulge is 5.11aish if you are under 5'10", which requires you to get reach a crimp over the bulge to pull yourself up. But an alternate line for the shorter folks is to go further right of the bolt and traversing back to the main line over the bolt.

The official grade is considering that it is possible to escape the direct crux move by traversing to the right.
