Madagascar

5 pitch multipitch to the highest point of the wall. Needs a 70 meter rope to rappell down. There are two variations of this multipitch. The original takes 5 pitches and traverses a lot in the first 3. The alternative is to climb the route 'On the rock' and then continue up two or three more bolts into the start of pitch 4. For a fun and unique jungle adventure do all the pitches, for better climbing do the variation.

Pitch 1 (4) and 2 (5): Very adventurous, more jungle trecking than rock climbing. Holding onto vines and traversing is the name of the game. Route finding can be tricky. Can be combined with okay-ish ropedrag.

Pitch 3 (5): Short traverse pitch, actually rock climbing now.

Pitch 4 (5+): Easy climbing

Pitch 5 (5+): Definitely the hardest pitch, might be undergraded at 5+. Can be a bit heady through the steeper section, especially for a 5 climber.

Rappell: Abseil from the top of pitch 5 rap with a 70 meter rope. Go past the start of pitch 5 and continue lowering, there are separate rappell anchors a few meters lower and slightly left. From these rap anchors a 70 reaches the ground.
