Spectator Wall | |||||
11 | Kiss and Make Up
A mini-route, but not too bad. Starts 7m L of a prominent arête, below the obvious overhanging overlap. Easily up to below the overlap. Small cams here, then through overhang. Grab the unfortunate jug on wall above, and up. FA: Lee Skidmore, Philippa Newton, Erik Smits & Took Smits, 1998 | 8m | |||
8 | Pouge Mah Thon (Kiss My Ass)
A shallow corner-crack 4m L of prominent arête. FA: Dave Ahmelman & Andrew Rule, 1996 | 10m | |||
17 | Simply Irrekissable
Contrived, but still good. Good rock throughout. Smooth face 3.5m L of arête to horizontal crack at 2/3 height. Your last gear goes in here. Now straight up the middle of the face to the top. Don't stray. Belay from "SIASSB" anchor. Repeat ascentionists have placed gear in KC to protect the top, but you won't. FA: Lee Skidmore, 1996 | 10m | |||
8 | Kissing Cousins
The set of twin cracks 2.5m L of arête to small corner in upper section. Great rock. Belay from "SIASSB" anchor. FA: Andrew Rule, Dave Ahmelman & Mark Gommers, 1996 | 11m | |||
6 | ★ Hugs and Kisses
Popular for beginners. Very easy, and a good first lead on natural protection. It is the widest crackline which is located 1.5m L of the arête. Belay from "SIASSB" anchor. FA: Mark Gommers, Dave Ahmelman & Andrew Rule, 1996 | 12m | |||
10 | Kissing Kermit
Quite good, especially the start. Corner crack 0.5m L of the arête to face crack. Belay from "SIASSB" anchor. FA: Zachary von Kemp & Mark Gommers, 1996 | 12m | |||
14 | Kiss it All Goodbye
Starting just half a metre right of SIASSB in the corner. Climb R-leaning slab-corner with good pro throughout. Continue straight up the loose and dirty horrorshow to finish at obvious spiky tree. A variant finish escapes L up ramp before the chossy top. FA: Lee Skidmore & Philippa Newton, 1998 | 15m | |||
7 | Kiss the Knife
Starts 4m R of the KIAG on the knife-blade-pillar-arête. Up this cracked pillar with reasonable pro in the first half. FA: Scott Bewley & Rodney Norfield, 1997 | 10m | |||
14 | Kiss of Death
A seriously delicate climb starting at a broken slab 7m left of KOTSW keeping left of mini-corner to undercling slot (protection). Over this to chossy slab and top. FA: Lee Skidmore, 1996 | 17m | |||
17 | ★ Kiss of the Spider Woman
A popular, nice slab climb. A good workout for your legs. Start at the bottomless, left-facing corner 30m R of arête. Finish up the loose exit to a boulder belay. Three FH's, wires at top. FA: Mark Gommers & Ellen Kemp, 1996 | 15m, 3 | |||
18 | ★ French Kiss
A deceptively good climb with some nice moves. Start 3m R of KOTSW. Up ramp to clip first FH. Up and trend L to pro in the big groove. Now up (crux) onto slab and clip second FH then cake to the top and a 45 degree FH belay. FA: Andrew Rule, John Louis Beaulieu, Mark Witham & Mark Gommers, 1997 | 17m, 2 | |||
13 | The Long Kiss Goodnight
Start 2m right of FK. Up ramp into the L-facing corner. Natural pro up this will lead you to the top and a 90 degree FH belay. FA: Mark Gommers & Andrew Rule(?), 1997 | 16m | |||
18 | ★★ Pash 'n' Fruit
Starting 3m R of TLKG below the obvious double rooflets with two black FH's. Up ramp to below 1st overhang, clip FH above, crimp and pop around overhang. Slightly L beneath 2nd overhang, and then directly through this past FH (no stepping around L!). Now a naturally protected 10m ramble - a fun excursion. FA: Lee Skidmore & Philippa Newton, 1998 | 17m, 2 | |||
15 | Kiss the Sky
4m R of "Pash 'n' Fruit" past small V-groove (pro) then slab to ledge. Easily to below R side of overhang. Punch through this fun rooflet (contrived) on jugs and then middle of slab (RP's) to top. If you step R to avoid the overhang, take off a grade or two. If it hasn't been climbed in a while, it may be a bit vegetated. FA: Lee Skidmore, 1996 | 17m | |||
12 | Emily
Up through the thin seams with little placements, then up and over the three roofs. FA: Christopher Glastonbury & Steven Ioannou, 2003 | 17m | |||
The Corridor | |||||
15 | Hall of Worlds
Starts 6m L of detached block 15m L of "The Corridor". Through blackened rock and tiny overhang to big ledge below larger overhang. Now through middle of this overhang (a bit contrived). FA: Lee Skidmore, 1996 | 25m | |||
10 | The Gauntlet
Starts about 4m R of HOW. Steep wall 3m L of detached block to ledge, then directly up past deep slots to ledge and scramble off. FA: Lee Skidmore, 1996 | 10m | |||
8 | Red Carpet Treatment
An easy, but also a nice & sustained climb. Starting middle of face 1m L of large detached block 2-3m, R of TG. Tend R up the slabby rock following pockets and then past nice cracks/slots near top. Continue up short flaky pillar to belay seat. FA: Lee Skidmore, 1996 | 23m | |||
15 | Walls Closing In
Starting in the middle of the corridor on the left wall (facing in). Up easily to mantle ledge (cam). #0.5 cam in flake crack and up R to clip FH on face. Avoid temptation to stray off L of the flake (~13), instead head directly up 1.5m to a wire placement. Now easily up to natural pro and SBB. FA: Lee Skidmore & Philippa Newton, 1998 | 10m, 1 | |||
14 | ★ Tonsil Hockey
Located between WCI and Abyssal. Up to left side of depression then up through two bulges. Lots of wires and RP's except at the top, the crux. FA: Doug Hockly & Steve Baskerville, 1999 | 10m | |||
15 | Abyssal
Starting about 6m right of WCI, right up the back of the corridor. Start below the bolt and avoid bridging as you cruise up the steep face on good holds past two FH's and an optional small, dodgy SLCD to natural pro and SBB. Surprisingly good. FA: Lee Skidmore, Philippa Newton, Took Smits & Erik Smits, 1998 | 10m, 2 | |||
12 | Romeo
Smooth wall with a tricky crux past a slot to small ledge. Step L, then up small corner to ledge and up face behind. FA: Mark Gommers & Andrew Kinbacher, 1996 | 30m | |||
7 | Juliet
Starting at detached wall 5m R of Romeo. Arête to ledge, then shallow groove to face. FA: Andrew Kinbacher & Mark Gommers, 1996 | 30m | |||
Romance Corner | |||||
13 | Unrequited Love
Start near wide crack at base of vague, blocky corner. Ramble up just R of the blocky corner to below smooth slab. Now climb the nice slab protected by a #2 RP. This route tackles the smoothest section of slab on the main, seaward-facing wall. FA: Lee Skidmore & Philippa Newton, 1998 | 13m | |||
12 | One Dozen Roses
Starts in the middle of the wall (3m R of "UL" and 5m L of "S"[13484161]). Very easily up blocky ledges and cracks for first 8m to weakness in bulge (big gear). Step out onto headwall trending slightly L to top. FA: Lee Skidmore & Philippa Newton, 1998 | 13m | |||
10 | Sampson
Starting at the crack 5m left of arête. A bit run out in the upper half but a really nice climb for beginners. FA: Mark Gommers, Dave Ahmelman & Andrew Rule, 1996 | 15m | |||
10 | Delilah
Face between "Sampson" and arête past horizontal break. A #0.5 SLCD is very useful. Pro is sparse! FA: Mark Gommers, 1996 | 15m | |||
14 | ★ Stone Goddess
Climb the arête past a FH to a disgustingly loose top-out. There's only about 4m of actual climbing but really quite nice. FA: Mark Gommers, 1996 | 10m, 1 | |||
14 | SP
Start 1m R of Stone Goddess and up over the roof. Pull up (crux) and climb straight up the face (two horizontal cracks for cams) till the fig tree. Traverse R to the wide crack (multiple wires) and up to top through horrible choss (very loose). FA: Steven Ioannou & Christopher Glastonbury, 2003 | 10m | |||
8 | Consenting Adults
Diagonal crack-corner in gully R of arête which may be somewhat vegetated. FA: Andrew Rule, Dave Ahmelman & Mark Gommers, 1996 | 10m | |||
12 | Romantic Interlude
Hand crack in buttress at top of descent gully about 25m up and R from SG. Some have had more trouble getting to it than climbing it. FA: Mark Gommers, 1996 | 6m |
