| The Steel Cap Slabs | |||||
| Open Project 1
Open for one who has vision Set: Ranger Dave Archer, 2013 | |||||
| V1 | Easy Day's Work
Start one metre to the right of the arete and keep your hands off this arete for the duration of the problem - holds on the slab only * Historical FA: Unknown * Documented FA: Alec, 2014 | 4m | |||
| V3 | ★★ Ministry Of The Left
At the first Slab you come to start at the right hand side of the left arete. Undercling and side pull your way up and then enjoy the technical moves of this arete problem From top to bottom the left hand is bound to the arete, while the right hand and both feet are free to wander! Love the laybacks, delicate smears and some cool problem solving!
FA: | 5m | |||
| V4 | ★★★ Oh Man, Oh Man, Oh Man
A beautiful climb with minimal holds requiring some dedicated core strength and balance. For all lovers of laybacking! At the sharp arete of the first slab you come to, start on the left side, using the corner and its features to reach the top. The holds are predominantly on the left of the arete but the climb utilises the holds on the right face within 30cm of the arete. Balance, Dedication and a satisfying finish!
FA: | 5m | |||
| V2 | ★★ Freedom Of The Feet
After completing AOS, continue along the slab utilising your core strength, balance and the tiny footers and limited holds on offer until you reach the far side.
Set: Brendon Flanagan, 2013 | 14m | |||
| V2 | ★★ Arete of Sweat
Start one meter left of the sharp arete with a solid undercling. Move up to the slotted crack line and head right, loving the arete as you navigate to the other side. Finish with your body resting on the slab side, 1m right of the arete. Just the start of an epic traverse!
FA: Set: Brendon Flanagan, 2013 | 8m | |||
| V1 | ★ Meanterthal
To the right of FLAA, none of which's holds are permitted. Straight up the chimney-like orange section of the wall, traversing across for top out on the big ledge common to all climbs to the left
Set: Ranger Dave | 4m | |||
| V3 | ★ A Face Like An Anvell
You'll need to hit this one hard with big moves, but the holds aren't as lovely as they seem Start 1m right of the arete in the Scoop. Without using the arete to the left or the holds on the orange streak to the right, power up using the side pulls, sloping pinch and some solid reach Finish on the ledge common to all the slab problems and then down climb via the method of your choice
FA: | 4m | |||
| V2 | ★ Hammer And Tongs
Some Arete practice before attacking "Oh Man, Oh Man, Oh Man" Start in front of the same arete used by "United By Brushes". Using only the arete for your hands and feet flow up to finish at the dominant ledge line common to all the other slab climbs. Some fun problem solving with pinches and laybacks
FA: | 5m | |||
| V2 | ★ Honey Filled Centre Extension
The extension of 'BMT' around the arete to 'M'. A bit hairy negotiating the arete above the concrete drain.
Set: Scott Bishop | 3m | |||
| V2 | ★★ United By Brushes
A thin, balancing climb that offers great satisfaction on the holds. Follow the thin crimpers and bumps up the left side of the slab arete, using the holds on the arete to support your climb. Finish the climb by getting both hands on the solid ledge line. Down climb via 'Stone Cold Steel Caps'
Set: Ranger Dave Archer, 2013 | 5m | |||
| V3 | ★★ Brothers In Chalk
Some awesome balancing slab, full of commitment and trust! Start facing the orange vertical streak about 1m left of the corner. Using some of the left most holds of "United By Brushes" and some thin, delicate bumps and pinches move up. At the large ledge with the carved out indent the problem moves right to mingle with UBB. Here the large carved out area and the ledge is out of bounds! Use only the holds to the right along this ledge line to keep the grade! Down climb the same you went up or via SCSC
FA: | 5m | |||
| V1 | ★ Can You Feel The Bromance!
Start 1 meter left of BIC. Head stright up finishing at SCSC. Crimpy, smeary and exciting. Enjoy the down climb!
Set: Brendon Flanagan, 2013 | 5m | |||
| V0 | ★ Stone Cold Steel Caps
First FA in the area, done on a wet day in steel cap boots. A good warm up to give your first climb confidence in the rock. Start ~2m left from the arete, right were the ground leave rises. Follow the large cuttings up to the first horizontal line of solid holds. From here move right and then up to keep following the man made cuttings until you reach the dominant ledge. Down climb the same way you got up. You'll get good at doing this climb in reverse as its the best way to down climb (without a challenge!)
Set: Ranger Dave Archer, 2013 | 5m | |||
| V1 | ★ Supination of The Right Wrist
Start the same as for Stone Cold Steel Caps. Instead of tending right as for SCSC head straight up and finish by touching the same ledge that SCSC finishes on. All big cuttings are out of bounds!!!!
FA: Set: Brendon Flanagan, 2013 | 5m | |||
| V1 | Over Easy And Liking It
Start half a meter to the left of SCSC where the ground rises and work your way up through the lichen using some nice hidden crimpers. Smooth moves and a focus eye required! Finish at the solid ledge and down climb where desired
Set: Ranger Dave Archer, 2013 | 4m | |||
| V2 | ★★ The First Cuts The Deepest
A lovely (if slight soft) V2 start using some great thin pinches and crimps Navigate your way up through the lichen on the interesting, half invisible holds. Finish using the flake to match hands on the grass adorned upper ledge
Set: Ranger Dave Archer, 2013 | 5m | |||
| V1 | A Slathering Of Slabs
start 1m right of "White Man Can't Slab" and head up and left using the solid ledges. Work the side pulls at the top to reach the finishing ledge (at the tree line). Down climb to finish
Set: Ranger Dave Archer, 2013 | 5m | |||
| V0+ | ★ White Man Can't Slab
Good holds and footers at the start while becoming more committing the higher you send.
Set: Ranger Dave Archer, 2013 | 5m | |||
| V0+ | ★ Butter Menthol Thief
A fun line doing a balancy traverse from 'WMCS' this all the way to 'UBB'. Nice moves on the face.
Set: Scott Bishop & Ryan L | 7m | |||
| Thrupp's Wall | |||||
| Thrupps Scoop
Set: Alec | |||||
| V1 | ★ Throw Your Thrupp Up!
DYNO - start with hands in front and legs on the wall. Power up to the obvious ledge line. One move wonder.
