7 | ★ History never repeats
Start at the old chains, up the easy ramp past an old pin and some new fixed hangers up high. FA: Bill James, 1950 | 25m | |||
13 | ★ Usurper
Another way old climb that was done before recorded time had begun. Probably by the old cockroach himself (Bill James). PS changed named from Cabrank senile? Start: At the bottom of the right leaning diagonal ramp which splits the face in this area. FA: Bill James | 40m | |||
13 | ★ Triantiwantigongalope
The corner crack to peapod and overhang. Done in the days before Friends were invented and the hexs rattled out around your ankles as you passed them by. I rather like the newer names. Start: Corner crack on the left side of the cave structure FA: G Hill, 1977 | 35m | |||
10 | Pinch Grip
Why anyone would climb a rotten corner like this i don't know but i have, probably with a good helmet on. And yes we graded it 10. Start: Two meters right of CL in rotten corner. FA: R Chunder G Hill, 1978 | 35m | |||
15 | ★★★ Mythical Tomatoes
One of the original classics from some time b4 the last ice age. An easy wall with good gear. A must for all the Trad Dad's. Now bolted and given 18 in the guide (Mustard?), you be the judge. Start: Right of SL at short and blocky corner. Under obvious slightly off vertical wall with three cracks in it. You can lower on a 60m rope to the floor with about 5 metres left (if belaying from on the block). FA: G Hill R Chunder, 1978 | 30m, 11 | |||
12 | Shanadoa
Up the corner crack and then follow the left crack system off ledge. Another very old route, at least you get bolts for the first 5 meters. Start: In Corner of Mythical Tomatoes. FA: G Hill & Hans Gimpeliji, 1978 | 50m | |||
12 | ★ Cab Rank
Not a lot of protection through the first wall from memory but think of England, Dave Mcleod & just fake it. Start: At wall with scooped out bites just right of Mythical tomatoes FA: Bill James, 1974 | 50m | |||
11 | ★ Maximum Multiplicity
A bit of old fashioned run it out trad climbing, taking in all the best looking rock it could. Start: Same as for Cab Rank under obvious bite out of wall ie under scoops. FA: G Hill & Hans Gimpeliji, 1978 | 50m | |||
14 | ★ Minimals
Another old trad route. Not sure how much pro you get on it but i remember it as run out. Then again its only 14. Start: Drop down off the ledge where 'Usurper' starts and walk towards the water fall a few meters. Around the nose you will soon see a large left leaning slab and corner with lots of rooves above it. From Cab rank you can look up to the right and see a tree growing from an orange rock ledge this is the last stance. FA: G Hill & R Chunder, 1978 | 65m |
