Climbs

Currently closed to climbing due to an earthquake shortly after Sachi Amma’s ascent in 2015 which destroyed some of the formation and resulted in the death of 19 people in the area.

No longer climbable at this grade after the loss of the resting flake by the fourth bolt in October 2017. Now climbed by Toadal Recall 2.0.

A direct line on Drift (8C). The hardest first ascent by a woman when it was established in March 2026.

Robin Richmond on the bolts:

The route was an old aid route. The kit that was I'm situ was in a right state so Dave Hughes aided through on the old kit and re-equipped the line with the intention of freeing it. A few years later the bolts were chopped, I re-eqipped they got chopped again and i replaced them with the stainless steel coach bolts [without hangers] that are currently still in situ. [1]

Rumoured to be morpho until Adam Ondra came close to doing it and suggested 8c+/9a.

There has been some hold breakage on this face which renders the original line defunct. It has been replaced by Tracky Lords. A sequence similar that could have been used on the original was reclimbed by Aidan Roberts after the hold break (at the time this was done, this sequence was quite contrived due to the new hold.)
