Routes in Sydenham Park

Start at upper left pocket in upper curving crack. Traverse right until upper crack turns vertical, then drop to traverse large horizontal to the head wall. Up steep arete to top. Beware perched block sitting above the starting hold.

Obvious SDS start to Laid Low With Ipi

SDS Narrow face between the crack of Laid Low With Ipi and arete of Laying Low With Nivo offers a few nice moves

Start below headwall on right and traverse left to triangular chockstone. Up right finger crack to top.

Starting on the right face of the boulder from the other problems. Sit down start with LH pinching arete and RH in sidepull pocket, make a punchy move up to the small jug and begin traversing around the arete avoiding the lip. Finish via Avoiding Nivo and Ipi. Very contrived and a little awkward, still good fun.

SDS near wedged rocks at bottom of crack. Thrutch along only using the middle block and the crack. Grade achieved if you are strict.

Same SDS as The Sydenham Thrutch but exit early onto face/arrete. Lower block is out.

SDS LH slot RH crimp. Long move to pocket RH then top

SDS Crimp LH Dish RH. Edge RH, pocket LH top

SDS Start low right side of face and take a diagonal line to finish to the left

SDS Direct up right hand arete. Beware the obvious drop off to the right

SDS with hands matched in break. Go straight up the arete and mantle.

Fun eliminate. SDS with hands on loose block (or use the slopey holds above) and don't use feet below the break. Traverse left around the arrete and mantle.

SDS Left side the slabby arete

SDS right side of the arete

SDS left side of the face

SDS right side of the face

SDS Face left of the crack.

SDS wide crack with great fist and hand jamBs. Easier than graded if you can jamB.

SDS Narrowing face and arete immediately right of Complicated Friends avoiding that problem.

Balancy Face

SDS Easy face.

SDS Left side of the arete.

SDS seam to break, right and up the crack through the top block.

SDS sharp prow. Over the top block immediately right of and eliminating the crack.

SDS Rounded nose

SDS Cracked vertical face

Start matched on the good hold on the arete. Swing feet onto the block or campus to the jug above then cruise to the top. Ledge the block is sitting on is off route.

Same start as SW5, but once established on the arete traverse the horizontal right above the shelf topping out at its right side.

Sit start on the wide ledge. Right hand crimp, left hand side pull, feet not on much, pull on and reach for the break and up.

Sit start at off width. Jam to little headwall, around left to horizontal break, traverse to short vertical crack and then up it top.

SDS Arete starting on the left side. Avoid the shelf to the right

Up LHS crack

SDS Face immediately left of Getting Laid. Crux is avoiding the face immediately behind.

SDS Layback flake starting on the lower triangular flake

Standing start. Up left thin crack. Has been done from a SDS down and right as per Under The Nose with no change to the grade.

Standing start. Up the right thin crack. Has been done from a SDS down and right as per Under The Nose with no change to the grade.

SDS Blocky bulge

SDS as per Under The Nose. Out through the roof.

SDS as per Under The Nose. Right side of the roof.

SDS Straight up centre wall to top.

The fun corner crack right.

SDS. Up and left

SDS Solid Purpose to the jug then dyno straight for the top.

SDS Central line

SDS Face right of Solid Purpose. Big loose block wedge fallen out since climbed so grade uncertain now.

Stand start on left hand pinchy undercling in cave and right hand pinchy crimp just below/right of obvious rail on face, with feet on the large shelf directly beneath you. Avoiding dabbing on the separate boulder to the right, traverse left on rail of slopers and top out via finish to Antidote To Nihilism wrapping around left face of the boulder.

Start at RHS small corner/headwall. Traverse on horizontal slopers to vertical crack in centre and then up. Note, slightly loose boulder at top.

SitStart the offwidth crack at the left end of the wall past the break and up the constriction above. Hands and feet inside the crack only. More old fashioned jazz. Lovely.

Start at RHS of horizontal break. Traverse left past hairline vertical crack, then up.

Narrow face from the obvious break

Climb the offwidth right of the corner, from a sit start, with hands and feet only in the crack all, the way to the top. Delightfully old school fun.

SDS down and right. Up and left above the shelf with a thin move to the top.

SDS as per SW13 continuing straight up the arete.

Up left crack and cross over to the right slab (after overhang) and then directly to the top

Straight up the middle of the block

Up central slab following thin vertical seam.

SDS Right side of the arete

Up the corner finger crack, good holds abound - no struggle here

Up the obvious nose, seems like it could be slightly precarious until you factor in all the jugs above.

Start on large flake. Up left hand crack. Triangular block at top is slightly loose.

Up slab between two cracks. Use only the wall, not cracks.

Start on large flake. Up thin RH crack.

Balancy arete. Has been done from an awkward SDS, but better as a stand.

Up central finger crack to top. Avoid RHS crack.

SDS Delicate moves up slabby arete.

SDS Up curving thin finger crack

SDS short crack. Crux getting up off the sit. Pleasant easy problem from the stand. Shelf on the right is out.

Stand start. Arete for the right, good low undercling for the left. Pull up and mantel.
