Description
“The Drink of Sin” is a characteristic sport line of the African sector, 40 meters long, offering continuous technical climbing on excellent-quality limestone.
It starts with demanding steps on small footholds, continues through a vertical section filled with tiny holds, and finishes on an easier slab leading to the belay.
The climbing is rhythmic and requires precise footwork and good energy management.
Bolts are well-placed, providing security without being overly dense.
