The Hand of Fatima, also called Gami Tondo, and the Needles of Gami (Шаблон:Lang-fr or Шаблон:Lang)[1] is a rock formation in the Mopti Region of Mali near Hombori consisting of a number of sandstone pillars. The formation was named for its appearance of similarity to a human hand, particularly that of Muhammed's daughter,[1] which is a protective symbol in Islamic tradition known as the Hamsa.[2] The formation's "fingers" are named Kaga Pamari, Kaga Tondo, Wangel, Debridu, and Suri Tondo.[3]

Rock Climbing

The Hand of Fatima has drawn rock climbers to the area including the Italian climbing group, the Lecco Spiders, who made numerous ascents in December of 2006.[3] Among the challenges available to climbers on the Hand of Fatima is an approximately 1,500 foot overhanging cliff face.[4]
