Routes in Mt Fox

Start as for 'Fox Tail' (which starts 5m right of a wide corner on the north-facing yellow buttress).

Up the small corner through a bulge, step right and continue up the next line.

Start: Start 5 metres right of a wide corner.

Up the overhanging chimney-corner 5 metres right of "Fox Tail" then head left at the roof, finishing as for "Fox Tail"

Follow chimney of Addicted to Placebo, then step right and up through overhanging crack.

Up short wall just right of arete. Step back left to arete and up easily.

Start: Start about 10 metres right of "Hell Bent" at a grey arete.

Up line to arete, follow the arete to the horizontal break, traverse left (continuing up arete from break is grade 14) then to top.

Start: Start at the diagonal 2 metres from the left arete of the little wall..

Roof on scooped boulder at left end of cliff

Slab, then overhanging face.

Start: Start at slab opposite "Hot,Salty,Sticky,Yum"

???? Needs checking

Start: Start as for "Warwick's Wafflecone"

Not positively located

Corner left of "The Radgel" past BR to falkes to "Norton Is For Nancy's

Apparently radgel may be Cornish for fox. Later accidentally retro-bolted as Warm Salty Bottom Washer; fortunately both the bolts and name have been consigned to the dustbin.

Blast up arete left of "Reynard's Last Run". Apparently a different arete than that of "The Radgel".

Start: Start at the chimney just left of "Fox On The Run"

1. 26m (-) Climb the chimney to the roof and then the corner-crack above the roof to a large ledge on the left.

2. 18m (17) Up the beautiful yellow corner to the roof. Exit right and finish easily.

Alternate first pitch to "Reynard's Last Run"

Start: Start at the corner just right (?left) of "Fox On The Run"

The right-hand of twin lines left of "Fox Trot".

The crack on the arete left of "Foxfire" has a good start but then gets quite easy.

1. 26m (17) Step into the crack from the right (direct into crack is grade 18) and up to a ledge.

2. 18m (-) Finish up the line.

Originally required extensive cleaning and sieging.

Corner crack that ends at old rusty carrot.

Stunning route up the middle of the wall; one of the best crack-vertical-slab combinations around. Hard technical crux after first bolt and a second (hard to protect) crux up high after the last bolt.

It has been queried if this climb is actually possible; this is from Mike Law: "I got pulled /tensioned/short-roped off last moves when belayer collapsed with heatstroke, finished right instead I think. Crux is the steep wall above the crack - pretty Foxy 25+"

It goes free at 26, climbing straight up after last bolt. 4 BR and run-out trad.

Excellent, but serious

Despite the addition of a bolt on the initial arete this is still fairly bold.

1. 27m (22) Climb the short, rounded arete 3 metres left of "Twentieth 'Century' Fox" past a bolt, stepping right into that climb at 9 metres. Continue up the flakes on TCF and traverse left to the second bolt on that climb. Now diagonally right to another bolt and go right and up to a ledge and bolt anchors.

2. 23m (19) Climb delicately left and up with poor protection.

Simply awesome. Sustained, technical and amazing climbing the whole way.

Start: As you walk up to the cliff you chimney just past the start (on a sloping ledge to your left) before you get to a ledge and big flat rock up on your right (great place for photos).

Start: Start at the base of 'Leaner'

1. 30m (22) Follow the traverse line left to the arete. Up the arete past a bolt (hard to clip) to ledge and bolts. The original poor bolts have been replaced.

2. 20m (22) Move right into "Leaner" and go up 2 metres. Now go out right onto the overhung arete, passing a fixed wire, or not, as the case may be.

Wildly overhanging corner right of the silver screen. Rarely repeated. Might need a new bolt.

People who climb chimneys probably shoot foxes too.

Start: The arête 2m right of 'Blood Sport' requires creativity and determination.
