UKH
300m, 9 pitches. Not to be underestimated: a serious climb with extremely poor protection and barely adequate belays. Much of the rock is rotten and the 'converging walls' pitch is totteringly loose and runout. Expect rockfall here. 60m ropes are very useful. Route finding, however, is straightforward - about the only thing that is!
