Access Issue: Munitions
Details
One of the unfortunate souvenirs left by the historic conflicts in the region is the copious amount of munitions scattered in the mountains, much of which is still live. Fortunately, most dangerous areas are well known and limited to the borders of the country. Unfortunately, this knowledge is still largely known only by remote villagers and few surveys have been conducted that are accurate enough to provide any reasonable certainty as to where's safe. According to accounts from the climbers in Sulaymaniyah, there are literally millions of mines still buried in the mountains on the border of Iran and Turkey, and few if any efforts are being made to remove them.

Description
Follow the large holds off the ledge through fun semi-steep traverse climbing until the first large ledge. From the ledge it actually gets more difficult so you need a really attentive belayer. Its better to take on the first 2 bolts then to fall or else you might end up on the ledge. Awkward yet interesting climbing leads to the top of the corner. Exiting the top may be your last crux! Then head up through some easy climbing to end on the ledge above.
