These "brothers" are steep granite peaks emerging like teeth from the ridge, piercing the thick forest cover up to about 50-100m from the forested ground below. I was lucky as in previous trips I could only get slow progress on some of them before finding some vertical obstacle or a very exposed passage I deemed was beyond my abilities and a reasonable safety margin. I'm no rock climber, so anything like a vertical granite wall with no foothold for meters quickly becomes an insurmountable obstacle for me.
