Climbing

Although quite broken, the East face of the Spout has some worthwhile, fun routes.

‍

Descent:

From the summit of the Spout walk in a westerly direction (towards Algeria). Keep a lookout for a little rock formation on the skyline resembling two birds kissing and

head for this. Just before you reach the love birds, drop down to a lower level and approach the edge immediately on the right-hand side of a huge smoothish

block. Drop down here (exposed) and follow cairns down the Descent Route.

Note 1: This descent route is fairly complex and exposed and it is advisable to check it out before descending it.

Note 2: As one reaches the shoulder before the long traverse left it is possible to do one abseil to the ground. Move out on the shoulder and look for a suitable horn.
