3-stars, Approach: Up the Boustan Gully, past the Boustan, past the huge boulder, past the narrow steep little gully on the left wall. Description: The route following the obvious diagonal crack for 5 easy (III+ to IV) pitches, except for one short (2m) passage of about V- at the end of the 2nd pitch. Solid protection by "friends" in slightly flared fissures. Scramble one more pitch to the foot of steep wall on left. It is possible to finish this route by “Chapa Wapa” Descent: Descent after 3-4 pitches (before unclimbed summit block) is easy forward (i.e. up) and right down to Boustan gully
