Description

The route starts on the right of the obvious huge left-leaning slab/ramp. A hard bouldering start traverses immediately left to the edge of the ramp (crux). Steady slab climbing on small but solid holds leads to the one bolt anchor. Use last 2 bolts to abseil.

Location

On the "BEACH" section of Berhala. Obvious ramp/slab is located at the left side of the beach, around the corner from a few hard climbs around the corner at left. Crux start and remember, 1st bolt missing, one bolt anchor!

Protection

First bolt missing! (Locals steal them for metal). rusty bolts lead to ONE BOLT anchor!! Use last 2 bolts to rap.
