Avoid first pitch in gully by climbing wall on left and returning to gully above steep part (50m, 5.7). Continue 10m to where gully stepping into crack, climb this till above 2 small chockstones (40m, 5.7+). From here it is best rappel back down or it is possible to continue 4 pitches easily up gully (5.3) till chockstone and then exit right and up in system of big cracks to top of Safsafa

The route is following the obvious crack/gully line leading to a block with a big hole (3m high) underneath it. The line starts above directly above the North end of the Monastery, some 500m left of Friday Rush.
