Description

Thin but bolted face climbing gains more featured face climbing that leads to a tight finger crack slashing the headwall. Very enjoyable.

The crack is the crux, though it's easier for tall people who can make longer use of the last good foot rail.

Location

Starts at the left-most bolt line on the left side of the high dirt slope. Start on the ledge to the right of Soweto.

It's possible to set up a top-rope by rapping in from above after topping out Soweto. (The Rocinha anchor should not be used to TR Soweto, this would invite huge dangerous pendulums.)

Protection

5 bolts and smaller cams. Probably best to bring gear to 1" or so. Quick-clip anchor.
