Routes in Departures (Upper)

Far end of ropes with triple belay. Up short wall then out the roof cracks to turn the lip and finish up steep prow. Backjump to clean.

Steep start then traverse left along the big horizontal then to a hard sequence below the top roof.

Big move at the start to a good but small hold then steep climbing to a lay down rest. The mid crux is all about some double undercling madness. Steep finish with big moves on big holds. Perhaps add a few grades if you are under 6 foot

One of the best routes at Departures. Another of Bell's classic 30's.

After the tricky and hard start good holds lead to a mid height rest where this little number steps up a notch. A couple thin moves lead to the last jug before the long and sustained top section where good hard moves and poor feet will have you screaming to the top of the wall.

The major flake feature in the middle of the wall. Same start as H.H. Some dubious rock down low then great moves from the mid height rest.

Start at big flake and head up and right over the project up the steep section to the sit down rest. Continue with trickery up the blank overhanging corner and over the thin final roof.

The long term project of Steve, he's been actively trying the from time to time so you can imagine when it goes it will be the hardest route at Bell…?

Tackle the hard and under-graded start as for Steve's project for 3 bolts, then head right and up. Ponder your position from the bird ledge then slab, yes slab moves up the sidepull flakes and victory jugs. A long draw at the base of the box roof helps the rope run.

Mostly easy first half leads to a dyno out the lower roof (requires a long sling or 2), clip a hidden chain, then up the sustained second half with a difficult sequence in the upper roof. Best cleaned by reversing to the first anchor.

Unusual and absolutely desperate moves through the mid-height roof.

Awesome pumper. Face, roof, then however you like up the headwall, all the options have been done so use the holds, or don’t, whatever.

Tricky slab start left of Feisty Phasmid above a small tree. Funky moves linking flakes up wall to a rest then up and out through a roof to steep headwall boulder problem.

Weird move to get started, hard at top of wall, then the crux in the roof.

Good climbing, add a grade if you crank past the anchors to jugs on the lip.

Starts directly up from where the rope railing starts. Has a couple of thin moves and a hard clip.

Just left of FL starting at orange flake. Up flake, traverse left across break to stance - then up technical wall above.

Funky orange radness for 3 bolts to rest, then easier pumpy jugs to the top of the cliff.

The first two bolts of this route have been removed, do FL instead. Or a long stick clip to the third bolt.
