Upside Down Backwards 5

5.8, Sport, TR, 49 ft (15 m),  Avg: 2.5 from 2 votes
FA: unknown
International > Asia > India > Northern India… > Ladakh > Shey Rock

Description

Follow the bolts up the face of the route to the crux of pulling over the roof on the sloping sides, a good finish to a good climb. Although it is a sport route, the anchor bolts are more conducive to an extended top rope anchor since they are not on the face. Scramble up the left side to access the top rope bolts, the arrow designates the path.

Location

In the parking lot, just to the right of Julley. This rock is marked as "2."

Protection

The route is bolted with four bolts plus an anchor, nothing at the top anchor bolts though.
