Nodes in The Lord Area

This is an area with scattered granite boulders and a few longer slabs which lies along the foot of the hill below Scorpion Rocks.

Basic climb. You can do it in sneakers.

Climb the arete.

Climb the arete and finish to the right.

Sit-start and climb the arete

Sit start to right of It Ain't Over climbing the face to its right. Arete is out for hands/feet. Probably done previously.

Climb the bulge.

Climb the slab and crack, and avoid the tree.

Climb the arete.

Climb the big crack

Climb the arete to the right of Go with the flow. Don't use the crack itself. Hard first half then eases considerably when you get yourself established on better footholds after lay-backing the arete and high-stepping. A really nice line with good climbing. Soloed after top roping.

Climb the centre of the slab between the two cracks. Nice climbing. Second half of the climb is harder than the first, with the crux being the last move. FA on top rope by Sam North on 8/4/2018. Soloed after top rope on 1/3/19 by Pete Reynolds.

Sit start and climb the sharp wall of the well-named Cheese Grater. Painful.

Sit start and top out directly. Best route in the area on quality rock.

Start from a sit as for Into the Wild and then traverse off leftwards around the corner to finish easily.

Beautiful chainsaw toothed finger crack 5m to right of Into the Wild. Will go from a sit but will up the ante to V8/9. Start with right hand on obvious gaston sloper and left lower in the seam. A solid opening gambit gains the juggy horn... and then the fun starts! I would have graded this V6 but its a grade harder than Out of The Wild so V7 it is.

Sit-start and traverse leftwards to top out.

Stand-start and climb the bulging arete.

Stand-start and climb the arete all the way.

Climb the obvious ramp.

Climb the thin wall to large holds and traverse right to the big ramp. Finish up the ramp.

Climb the arete on the right hand side.

Climb the left side of the arete.

Climb the right side of the arete
