★ Kersplat 17

Start: 10m up hill right of the corner of Through the Looking Glass. Another hard start to a good slab. Up slab past 3 BRs to DBB and chains behind the tree.

Note: new DBB & chains can be used for 4-5 climbs in this area, and using them will save the long-suffering tree. This belay station can be accessed by walking around and through the slot to set up top ropes if you prefer.

Given the restrictions on new routes, brushing and bolting, new route activity is limited to trad climbing, and the easy lines (and the hard ones!) have long ago been developed, for the most part. The casual visitor is probably advised to stick to the established climbs, there are plenty to go around. Many climbs in this guide are listed as "Sport" in that they are bolted climbs with no natural gear required (or available) - many of these are truly "sporting" with old-school runouts. Some of the "Trad" climbs have little or no protection, and were soloed on FA. Please be careful - top roping is often possible and often the only way to adequately protect a route.
