Description Suggest change

Goes up the east coast of the detached flake that resembles the continent (or is it a country?... heck, I can't see it from my house, so who cares?). Sit start beta goes something like:
South Africa --> Kenya --> Uganda --> Somalia --> Libya --> then up to Europe and top out due north.
Harder for short people.

This is problem M2 on the Mayer & Moret overview map.

Location Suggest change

Western end of the south face of the big boulder in the lower mound. The problem is adjacent to a pulled-away section of rock with a sharp juggy hand traverse (VB). If you stand back, you can see why this problem is called "Africa."

Protection Suggest change

Pad, spotter.
