There is rock climbing on Sumatra!

Well there is now. It's on the road about 5 km up north from Tomok, Samosir Island, Lake Toba, Sumatra.

You can't miss it - several large boulders in a meadow on the left side of the road, with a big steepley-looking church-monument-thing right on the opposite side of the road.

This problem is probably a new V0, 5c and I've called it Animist Twist. Unusual for granite, there are good pockets on the steeply overhanging face that is traversed R to L.
