| I only helped "Fix" this route. Kevin Ormerod did all the work, and I'd say he did more than "fix" it. As far as i know this route had been listed as unfinished. Kevin led up through the crux(where the route had previously ended) past the last bolt and finished this climb, with a 2 bolt anchor, at the obvious ledge above. He also relocated all but one of the original bolts. The finished route is: Chaturanga 5.12a |
