Routen in Battle of the Bulge Wall

The most prominent chimney on the west facing wall at the entrance to MS Betta via the Yedumadu village.

No protection for the first 20 feet of easy climbing. The squeeze chimney turns to off-width inside for about six odd feet, and can be protected by a #4, #5, and #6 sized BD cams, in that order.

The first two pieces deep inside. Before the crux, protect with #6 cam, and then another eight feet of unprotected climb to the top out.

If top-roping the line, the flavor of the route changes completely. Rack: #4, #5, #6 sized cams, and fist and hand sized cams for the top anchor.

Anchor: Cracks above that take hand and fist sized cams. Natural anchor: A chocked boulder in the chimney could be used.

FFA: Sohan. Onsighted with support from Narayan P. & Murali M. August 2017

The shape of the flake, with placement potential behind the flake, resembles the west coast of a continent.

Solo it out or find placements in the flake.

Multiple lines to the left and right of the line.

Rack: Mid to hand sized pieces.

Anchor: Boulders above to the left.

Natural Anchor: Yes, but to the left of the top out.
