Routes in Handsome Crag

Left line out the cave on jugs. Originally ended at the lip of the cave but to add some quality and a star continue out the sentry box and up the pleasant face above at the same grade.

Right line out of the cave on jugs. Topout waiting to be done.

The dirty chimney to the right.

Up on crimps and seams to groove and glory jugs.

Steep arete to balancy topout.

From scoop holds with left hand, up arete via pinches to top.

Awkward start from the flake then up right via the obvious pocket.

Start with left side-pull and right mono and then up the clean, south facing arete.

Dirty chimney to the right of the arete.

Open project - The tall overhanging arete, left of the main face. Gotta have some balls.

Climb the slab.

The next line left of "Cool Guys" and right of the corner.

The tall line up the prominent black streak. A classic highball with the crux exactly where it's supposed to be, at the top.

Start on jugs under the small roof. Straight up to the pockets and a high topout.

A traverse has been done from right to left starting on sidepulls underneath FTB

A classic mantle problem. Start at the two obvious pockets under the roof, a big move to the lip leads to the mantle. Careful of loose rabble on the slab above, the initial cleaning of the problem ended up in a trip to the Emergency Room.

This problem starts just right and uphill of 'Hit and Run'. Start on rail and pocket, slab up and mantle onto slab.

This problem is on the small triangle block just below Badass Wall. Climb up the left arete.

Follow the crack line to the left of Book Thief

Project - Stand start on two small small side pulls, punch up and right to the arete and continue up just left of The Book Thief.

The striking highball arete on the main face of the boulder. Sit start on the jug at the bottom of the arete, lob up to the sloper and continue up past edges and pockets before cruising up the highball victory head wall. The easiest way down is to down climb the headwall and jump onto the pads.

It's very hard to say how hard this is, maybe around V-6ish. Sit start with your right hand on the bottom most hold on the flake and the left hand on a small edge, slap up the flake to the jugs and head up the easy top out.

SDS under 'arch' where Book Thief Bloc leans on Eco-Terrorist Bloc. Move up and left along right arete of Book Thief Bloc.

These next two problems are on the small steep face to the right of the Book Thief Block. This is the Eco-Terrorist Block.

The left hand arete sit start to Eco-Terrorist. Sart left hand on a dimpled sloper on the left hand arete and the right hand on a slopey break low down on the face, punch out and up to finish up Eco-terrorist. Harder than Eco-Terrorist.

The main face with two cracks spilling down it. Start with the left hand in the three-finger pocket and the right hand on the edge at the bottom of the crack, bust up using underclings and side pulls. There is a direct sit-start to go using two sloping edges on the face below.

Starts at jugs below the thin crack left of Bonjour, up past crack, onto slab, trend slightly right to top.

The leftmost problem on the face of the boulder facing the rear wall. SDS on jugs right of arete, move up and leftish finishing up arete.

Wow! SDS just right of Bonjour. Up using slopey rails, then dyno like a possessed person. Classy.

Ca va's more difficult twin.

Low right to left traverse along slopes, finishing up Bonjour.

Sit start out right on the jug and traverse across the slopey break before finishing up Nice Jugs, or harder up The Double.

From the start of The Double Traverse, up and left on small holds to jugs at the top.

From the start of Nice Traverse follow flake up right then to bucket.

Slab around to the right of the previous problems. Sit start on the sloping jugs and head straight up the face.

Stand - Starts 1m right of Bum Hummers and heads up and right to top out.

Sit start in the slopey break and head up before busting out left under the arête to finish on the left face.

The classic of the boulder. Start as for There Were the Pepper Grows but head straight up on the right side of the arête.

Project - about 1 metre left of V6 towards left hand end of Illumination Wall.

Up on pockets from right hand side of the scoop on the left side of the wall.

Obvious traverse line. Do SDS of Everything is illuminated, then move right until the line peters-out. Can be done in either direction.

Start of left jug, follow the diagonal weakness down to bum dragging height, then straight up 2 moves, then along right on thing holds avoiding the higher good holds

SDS. Up and rightish on positive jugs, shallow pockets, and a rail, before moving back slightly left for high topout. Welcome to classicville.

Stand - Starting on the jugs at head height up to the corner of the seam, past a crimp rail, to join Everything is Illuminated (a left healhook on the jugs is key). Probably a touch harder than Everything is Illuminated but not much.

Stand - Start as Rightly Illuminated but bust right into Ruination day and Illuminatie finish. Maybe just a bit harder than Ruination but maybe not significantly.

Stand - Start on the big jugs in the middle of the wall, head up and then punch out right to top out in the same place as Illuminatie.

Stand - Start on the jug at the right hand end of the wall, head straight up the face to top out.

The right most and easiest problem on the wall. Sit start on the juggy rail and head up and rightish. V-5ish??

An ultra classic problem. Sit start on the obvious jug and head up the wall into the committing finishing moves. If you brake the cimps off at the start please put them somewhere safe.

The classic high arete on the right edge of the J'Aimerais Bien Francais wall.

The left hand arete of the boulder. Some one has cleaned some holds.

Superb climbing up the main face of the boulder. Start on the sidepulls on the face, climb delicately up the face before gaining the arête at about two-thirds height.

The right arete of the opposite face.

The left arete of the opposite face.
