Description:
NEW FINISH. This is the bleak and barren face just left of Silk Road. Climb Silk Road to the base of the pedestal [2nd bolt], and then step left around the corner onto the vertical desert. This route used to end at the chains on Silk Road, but has now been extended to the rim by the addition of two more bolts, which protect an interesting finish through the black overhanging lip. Large holds, succculent dates and beautiful belly-dancers are, as always, only mirages. Speed or a 10-day camel are the traveller's best friends here. You can still finish at the chains on Silk Road, but why would you??????Descent Options:
Rap from the chains at the rim, or walk off right.

I somehow avoided the desert
Felt like there was more hand and foot options than in the description. Fun alternate line up to silk roads anchor.
