Routes in Pakistan for selected grade

The central line on the western face of Mastadon.

The central crack line.

One of the best 7a climbs you can find in Pakistan. Super interesting moves along great features, with the crux near a small runnout near the top that makes it super spicy. Just watch the rope going behind your feet and tell your belayer to give you a nice dynamic catch!

Interesting and varied climbing. Follows the line of bolts to the right of the stalactites. Crux is the last move to the chains. DBB and lower off.

Climbs the short overhanging wall left of the pocketed cave. Technical moves to an awkward mantle at 2/3 height then monkey up the hanging vines to DBB and lower off. Originally a fairly scary proposition, an additional bolt was added in 2016 making it far more pleasant.

This is the route with the obvious stalactite just at the beginning. Crux is between the 3rd and 4th bolts but climbing higher up will still keep you on your toes with fun movements. Possible to negate the crux by going further out left to make the grade 6c.

One move wonder.

Islamabad's only sport multipitch. Wonderful climb with an easy approach. Very exposed to the sun so early morning start or evening climb is recommended unless you don't mind baking.

1. 4a - Steep scramble to the first anchors. There are no bolts apart from the anchors where you can belay from.

2. 5c - Scramble up to the first bolt carefully. The rest of the route should become apparent after reaching it. Please refer to the uploaded picture to see the location for the first bolt.

3. 6b+ - One of the best routes in the entire city. Be careful with the first two bolts just before the crack as its sort of chossy.

4. 6c+ - Very challenging slab on solid rock. There is some vegetation growing on it as it hardly ever sees any sort of traffic. Rock quality is great for the most part. Crux is near the top.

Descent beta: From the top anchors, it is possible to rappel to the bottom of pitch 3 with a 70m rope and then straight down to the ground. With a 60m rope, you'll have to go anchor to anchor. Expect very steep scrambling on the ground. Remember to tie your stopper knots.

An excellent direct line up the Legacy face. Climb the direct start to Legacy to gain the fig tree then straight up the Legacy face on small crimps finishing up the Legacy groove. Around 6b/b+ if you start on the boulder.

Fingery and sustained. Climbs the blunt rib between PT and KBJ. Shares DBB and lower off with KBJ.
