Grade Route Gear style Popularity
28
Upper Zap
28 Zapt

Starts 2m L of 'Pulse' up vague flake feature.

This climb has a lot to offer with a fun start to a good rest then the crux awaits. How many draws can you skip???

FA: M.Law, 2002

Sport 20m, 10
28 Pulse

The end of another long affair. Great moves, technical with a dynamic finish. Generally considered easy for the grade, but then a hold snapped in 2011. Now its more solid, and a bugger to get a draw onto the 5th bolt.

Start: Start under the short vague arete 1m left of the Stolen corner.

FA: W.Payten, 2006

Sport 20m, 7

FA: D.Taylor, 2000

Sport 15m
The Fuse Box
25 Particle Accelerator

A series of big moves to a crimp crux. Don't clip anchor on left. Instead, go up right into the chasm before a fun lip traverse leads you out onto the headwall.

22 Jug Buzz

Start: Starts off the pedestal 6m up L from the base of Zapt. You can belay on the ledge (where there's a belay ring), or on the ground which is probably less hassle. Either way, take it easy on the unprotected scramble up to the pedestal.
