---|---|---|---|---|---|
26 | Five Spice
Looks like a fun bit of steep thugging. Start: This is the route on its own in the cave you get to before the main area. FA: Stuart Wyithe | 10m | |||
29 R | ★★ Red Vinyl
Quite close to Nomads but it still looks great. The usual warning applies about having only a single bolt between you and the ground at times. Start as for Nomads. Break R from Nomads after the 1st bolt, then follow the line of holds 1.5m R of Nomads. It's a shame it finishes in the middle of nowhere at the last bolt a few metres before the lip. There's no anchor - either trust the ring or back-clean it. FA: Simon Atkins, 2000 | 20m | |||
32 R | ★★ Fire in da Belly
A whole new route without a single extra bolt! Start as for Red Vinyl. Extends Red Vinyl to the lip. No more bolts, although it does now have it's own anchor. Make sure you clip the last bolt on Red Vinyl then drop back down right, up, then back left to the crux. You need an alert belayer once you're out near the lip. FA: Nathan Hoette, 2000 | 25m | |||
32 R | ★ Dual Fuel
Dual Fuel? Jule Fuel? Who knows how it's meant to be spelt. The usual warning applies: there's only a single bolt between you and the ground at times. Start as for Nomads / Red Vinyl Start as for Red Vinyl then link into Breathing Gasoline after about 9m. This eliminates the rest on Breathing Gasoline, making this route rather more sustained! For the record, on 26/4/09, not really knowing what went where, Mike Patz sent a similar link-up at the same sort of grade, this time starting up the first few bolts of Nomads then finishing up Breathing Gasoline. FA: Nathan Hoette, 2000 | 20m | |||
30 R | ★★★ Breathing Gasoline
A very impressive line blasting out the biggest part of this massive overhang, on beautiful red stone. The usual warning applies: there's only a single bolt between you and the ground at times. Start as for Nomads. Start as for Nomads but stay on the hanging arete/nose, then follow the line of holds rightwards and outwards forever. FA: Julian Saunders, 2000 | 28m | |||
22 | ★ Reckless Mind
Now retroed with 3 bolts and a rap anchor. It's best not to lower off the anchor because it's over the top and will probably trash your rope. Abseil or back jump. Start: Start about 50m L of where you scramble up from the Main Cave. FA: Julian Saunders (solo) 1990s, 2000 | 15m, 3 | |||
25 | ★★ Shattering Reflections Of Climbing Ability
Takes SFON past 3 bolts. Then direct up trad weakness. FA: Matt 'Master of the mid grade' Adams | 15m, 3 | |||
19 | Chapped Lips
Nice. Follow the same line as 'Blabber Mouth' until it steepens then move diagonally left to finish. FA: Geoff Butcher, 1993 | 14m | |||
19 | Blabber Mouth
take the obvious central line to where it steepens, with a hard move near the top. FA: Geoff Butcher, 1993 | 12m | |||
14 | Time Out
Up the face 1 metre left of 'Time In Memorial' to the horizonatl traverse left to the top. FA: Geoff Butcher, 1993 | 10m | |||
21 | To The Point
Start as for 'Blabber Mouth' but move across the opening of the cave. Pull through overlap to finish. FA: Geoff Butcher, 1993 | 14m | |||
12 | Time In Memorial
Starts in the middle of the wall off a flake. Straight up then veer left. FA: Chris Lawrence & Geoff Butcher, 1991 | 9m |
