P1: Big glue in bolts, few cams and nuts would be needed along the way.

P2-4 trad/sport?

Slabish climb with very technical moves.

These twin sport climbs are short, but pack in many fantastic moves on unique and esthetic columns of bullet hard black sandstone. They share in many things including style, difficulty, and a two bolt anchor.

Found on the southern wall of Abu Iglakhat (due west of the popular routes) roughly halfway into the slot canyon.

Undercling start drives you into the crux moves that don’t ease up until the third bolt. Then slap your way up blind holds on each side of the column. Most will be amazing jugs, but there are some sandy slopers!

Very similar to its twin. Just harder and a little sandier. A big gaston unlocks the crux at the first bolt. The second bolt can be very difficult to clip when on sighting. Avoid a ground fall by preclipping it.
