The arete right of "caravanserai"
Climb Caravanserai's direct start to the ledge then step right on to the arête which is climbed all the way to the top using pro in the crack of caravanserai when it can be reached... unfortunately it is escapable and a blinkered approach is needed.
This has not been climbed since the demise of Caravansari, but must be regarded as very serious / dangerous. As such, it has been upgraded to E3, very much an estimate and an abseil inspection is advised.
*NOTE:Since the demise of Caravanserai this arête has now become a far more serious proposition as it now gives a very run out independent and inescapable line and is more like E3 5b (four pieces of gear protect the entire route, all of these are below half height) SB
