260m.
This challenging route takes the central crack and chimney system in the white ‘domed’ wall left of Striker. Start at a pocketed buttress of rough rock directly below the line.
1. 30m 4c. Follow various grooves to a big spike belay.
2. 30m 4b. A corner on the left then continue to the big tree.
3. 50m 4c. Climb till above a higher tree then trend left on excellent compact rock to reach the crackline.
4. 50m 4c. Follow the crack till beneath a huge thorn bush then traverse left to a pine tree belay.
5. 50m 5a. Move back right to gain the main crackline above the thorn bush. Follow chimneys to a sheltered stance in a shallow cave – thread and nut belays higher.
6. 50m 5a. Follow the chimney, make exposed moves to pass an overhang and continue to where the crack closes 10m from the apparent top. Break left and make an exciting traverse to the arête of the wall to finish. Now traverse the mountain to the abseil descent in the gully between it and Jalali Tower. One 50m abseil.
