Jump-start to the sloper and climb up.

BS on jugs.

Alternate start to Archway Direct. Start on corner of buttress to right of normal start (point of slab directly below tree on overhang, a pigeonhole 1m above ground). Leads to platform. Finish as for Archway Direct: ascend steep wall behind to ledge. Climb wall and slab directly behind to finish.

Sit start with jug, move to hueco and climb up right

(Highball) SS, up braken arête.

Sit start below bulge on left, move up to ramp, then traverse up and right around corner (see topo picture) to TO.

Stand-start with the jug and climb straight up the crimpy face.

Standstart. Climb the slab to TO.

Climb up to the right of Water Worm.

Boven’s hardest line! And worthy of the crown, being long, steep and of continually interesting climbing. Take sthe obvious 20 degree leaning wall. Scramble up to start with a hollow flake and a hard move left to the arête. Then lots of sidepulling leads to a desperate campussing crux. MCSA Bolts

Start just to the right of the arête. After a tricky starting move, climb straight up on 'dinner plates'.

Sitstart in round scoop/hueco, big move with RH to good flat hold over the bulge, climb straight up to TO.

Start as for Swordfish Syndrome, then use crimp on the R side of the prow to gain the edge in the roof.

Follow the bolts just to the right of the black streak left by water.

Up the face on the left side of the boulder next to Treehugger.

Crouch start in the overhang matched in a good slot in the crack, climb out right and up the right side of the face. Once you pass the two big holes in the face (great jugs) you are commited. This is a pretty scary but all around amazing climb. Avoid using the right arete until at the top, although this can be a nice bailout lower down. Getting off the boulder can be tricky!

Climb up the juggy slab any way you want.

Between the three towers and the main buttress of the east face is a large gully. This is almost certainly the one described in 1957. (Adams suggested an alternative position between the Sella and Vajolet Towers), Two pitches of moderate standard up the face, followed by fairly strenuous chimney work and a scramble up the top half of the gully lead to the grasslands of the summit. After a recent ascent a party claimed that it was better than it looked.

Sit-start with crack, climb out right and up the high arete.

The arete R of Ivory Comer is climbed by Ivory Pillar (V I-, A1); near the top a slab L of pillar is taken.

[not sure whether the following description by Andrew Wielochowski belongs to this route or the next] R of this is another huge comer system. The top sections of the L-hand walls are red and overhanging. A giant roof caps the whole system.
