Routes in Split Rock Area

Crack and face.

Corner.

Flake-corner down and right of two parallel lines.

Unusual climbing on polished granite. From split rock, walk along the fence line toward the large granite blocks and Teneriffe proper. Above is a prominent block on the hill with a number of broken lines on it. One obvious line stands out as an awfully hard offwidth through a roof about 20m off the ground. Walk up to this.

1. 20m (17) Follow the loose corner up to the cave.

2. 12m (18) Avoid the overhang and traverse rightwards under the roof. Awkward moves at the end before gaining the slab.

Behind Split Rock is the main face, with 3 major lines on it. The corner on the right.

1. 25m (17) Bridge the corner, swinging into the left crack when the lines divide. Up the thin corner to a tree and stance.

2. 25m (19) Continue up the line and across the diagonal crack. Thin moves to finish.

The other side of LL. Chimney to the top.

Clean cut and enjoyable. Perfect chimney-ing, just left of LTG.

Steep and Pumpy.

8m right of LIQUID LAUGHTER is an obvious layback flake.

Jam, then layback past a bolt runner to the top.

Beware, the flake gets very thin at the top.

Across the fence from Split Rock, walk left to a boulder with a distinctive finger crack running diagonally (left to right) across its face. Start off the flat slab almost against the boulder.

2m left of outside line, 3BRs

Around right of TT is another little face with a couple of edges up to it.

No gear. Takes the rippled little face looking back towards the Hume. Balance away, use the arete for the final few moves.

Different. Directly behind split rock in amongst the trees over the fence is a huge slab-boulder. A prominent flake creases its righthand side. Dangle along the sharp edge up onto the slab. Slip quickly on up to the top.

Some excellent moves. 6m Right of SUMMIT ROAD is a short crack bypassing the dangle. Lurch up on locks to join SUMMIT ROAD.

Awkward. Start 4m right of SUMMIT ROAD DIRECT at a crack/leaning pod!. Offbalance reaches gain SUMMIT ROAD.

A good intro into the gentle art of offwidthing. The crackline facing the fence.

The bottomless crack facing the fields at "the other side of midnight". Gymnastic to start. Offwidth to the top. Bolt belay on top. Abseil to get off.
