Jezzine Boulders All Bouldering 9 routes in boulder field

Jump problem on granite pillar at Garabarra Lawn. Squat start on the overhung south side, hug pillar with arms, place feet on the lowest edges. Crux move is then to jump and grab reddish stained edge two-thirds of the way up (LH). Pull up and climb the easy last bit, top out. The pillar is next to a coastal boardwalk so be courteous of pedestrians. I recommend minimal chalk usage and brush holds clean to uphold a good public image. Pillar has a small memorial plaque to Tory "TJ" Lords on the ocean side.

Slab traverse on ocean side of Lord's Lunge boulder. Stand start on north-west face, match feet on lowest edge. Match hands on round pinch hold to start. Use obvious jug (RH) to traverse corner. Smear feet and top out over the crack.

West side of Garabarra Hill. Part overhang, part slab. Sit start (bum on small boulder), feet on lower slab, extend arms to grab side edges. Pull up and reach crimp on upper slab (LH), tip toe lower slab, then high step to upper slab. Continue up and top out. Landing space is crammed by smaller boulders so a crash pad is useful.

West side of Garabarra Hill. Sit start (bum on small boulder at base), feet on small edges 10 to 20 cm off ground, hands on two edges in the middle of the face. Push your feet, pull up (LH) and slap up to target hold (RH) which is a small two-finger edge two-thirds of the way up. The pulling motion requires finger strength because the edges are downsloping. Then climb up and top out.

Lowball crimp and overhang problem on the little boulder next to Dillybag. Sit start, match hands on edge at lip of little overhang, feet on lowest edges. Pull up and slap crimp above overhang, continue to high step up, top out. It is essential that the LF begins on the crimp 15 cm above ground and not on the floor stone (see photo). The difficulty is probably V1 or V2 depending whether or not the floor stone is used or not. Requires good finger strength. Use minimal chalk and brush holds clean to uphold good public image.

Lowball. Ocean side corner. Sit start with bum on the floor boulder, match hands on obvious undercut, feet on either side of the arete (LF edge, low RF smear) First move is the crux.
