Sahara
Terror, 5.7
Here's Sonja negotiating the scary crux on pitch 5. Have
never heard or read anything about this memorable section,
but we found it to be rather hard, and not so well protected.
Were we off route or in bad shape? It was a thin face climbing
problem to some dicey fingercrack that only reluctantly took
pro and then only right where one's fingers would go. Personally
I was happy not to lead this. The gear at the belay was so-so
and the same could be said for the next string of placements,
making a fall potentially dangerous. |
