Lex Luthor

Given a star by the last 2 guidebooks...which coincidentally were written by the two first ascentionists! It's ok but arguably not worth a star so we are "restoring the balance" here.

Start: Start at the base of the slim pillar at the back of the gully between 'Pilot Error' Ledge and 'Lois Lane Wall'.

1. 12m (19) Boulder up into the thin crack on the front face of the pillar.

2. 18m (19) Climb the fingery face on the R wall of the gully above the ledge, beware slightly fragile rock. Stay L of the arete up higher, to reach loweroff. Rap 15m down R to Debutantes' anchor and rap again from there.

FA: Simon Mentz, Louise Shepherd, 1991

The small arete with a bolt.

Start: Start R of LL.

FA: Simon Mentz, Nick White, 1992

Start: Start at the righthand chimney in the back of the gully.

1. 15m (12) Up the chimney and under the chockstone.

2. 15m (15) Take the curving flake on the right wall, then traverse right and up to rap anchor for 'Lex Luthor'.

FA: Rod Young, Jeremy Boreham, 1977

Bridge chimney for 8m then tricky face moves to join a wide L-facing flake/crack.

Start: Start as for E.

FA: Louise Shepherd, Nicky Sunderland, 1991

Heimweh

More proof that the Ewbank system doesn't need suffixes, prefixes or any other sort of fixes. Just read the damn description!

Start: Start as for Debutantes.

FA: Wolfgang Gullich, 1985

Debutantes and Centipedes

Trend R to arete past 3 RBs. Crux to break then tend leftwards past good trad to loweroff.

Start: Start L of the blunt arete.

FA: Mike Law, Mike Law-Smith, 1981

The face with 2 bolts, involving two distinct boulder problems. Reachy start off two sidepulls then into slopers to a brief respite, then a cute micro crimp problem to the ledge. Easily up from there. Harder than some 26s.

Start: Start R of D&C.

FA: Mark Moorhead, Jon Muir, 1982

Lois Lane

Amazing how many people commandeer the blunt end on a bold route!

Start: Start R of C roughly in the middle of the wall.

FA: Kevin Lindorff, Tony Dignan, Matt Dunstan, Peter Lindorff, 1979

The reachy face with a bolt.

Start: Start just R of LL.

FA: Mike Law, Mike Law-Smith, 1981

Reunion

From such beginnings at age 18, 10 years later he was in on Australia's first ascent of Everest. Quite nice anyway.

Start: Start a few m R of LL beneath the only significant crackline.

FA: Lincoln Hall, Norm Booth, 1974

Calypso

Worth roping up for the traverse to the base, and for the traverse off L at the top to the rap anchor.

Start: Start 6m R of 'Reunion', R of orange cave.

FA: Rod Young, Simon Kenny, 1977

Start up the ramp of BS, then the flake. Tricky up small corner on the L.

Start: Start as for B.

FA: Kim Carrigan, Robin Miller, 1982

Boldly up face to bolt.
