Description Suggest change

Sababa is a break off extension of Flicking The Bean. Climb the double hand cracks of that route, then set some small gear in a thin crack where FTB begins its leftward traverse. Make a face traverse on obvious positive crimps to gain the crack out right. Climb hands that drops down before a bulging roof, then climb sustain tight hand and ring locks to the anchor.
A mega pitch that protects well and is worth the effort.

Location Suggest change

Start on Flicking The Bean. Plaque for Sababa at the base

Protection Suggest change

Many hand size for the start of flicking the bean. I placed a grey and purple metals before the face traverse. Then many 0.4, 0.5, 0.75 and  #1 BD cams for the top. Alpine draws are good to mitigate rope drag. New 2 bolt anchor.
