Description Suggest change

Climb the obvious ridge from the col to the summit. There are a few bushy ledges but most of the climbing is enjoyably clean up corners and slabs.

Start on the left up slabs (5.6), climb to roofs (5.9), pass first roof on the left then move right, passing another roof, to reach the ridge crest (5.7). Climb over bulges (5.7), finish up a 5.8 slab.

The most common descent is to rappel the route. There are typically slung trees for anchors but you'll want to bring your own webbing and rap rings because some of the anchors may be snafflehound-chewed or just plain old and not trustworthy.

Location Suggest change

Begin just left of the ridge crest, at the Ibex/Steinbok col.
