Routes in The Alcove

Berics Project. Links "Bucket Jukebox" into "The Appropriate Opiate".

Better than the name suggests. Good gear (medium wires and cams) and interesting climbing up the corner to belay on the big ledge on the L. Escape as for Hoop Pine Crack.

This climb will have you thinking of the Arapiles.

1. 20m 25 Up the immaculate orange crack, over the bulge to the ledge. Follow the easy corner to the large ledge and DBB.

2. 30m 22 From the ledge step out onto the headwall and follow the large weakness through a series of roofs to finish at a large tree and natural belay. Well featured rock on the top half of this pitch.

Vertical crack on the left of the south facing wall behind the hoop pine tree. Fantastic continuous climbing up a stunning line. From 1m R of the crack make balancy moves L into the crack proper. Straight up the line via elegant bridging and fingerlocks to finish on the generous ledge with DBB.

As for Xylocaine then trend R at the roof and up vertical weakness on immaculate rock to the anchor.

3m R of Xylocaine. Up slab to large horizontal break. Power up short steep wall to ledge on R, then hook out L for finish.

Direct start to Skyfall. Past first 3 bolts the punch R into steep crack with chockstone hold. continue up through tricky crux and link into the last 2 bolts of Skyfall.

Up slab, past the overlap and trend L to a series of powerful horizontal moves through the roof to the great hueco. Sustained climbing up to the anchor in the small cave.

As for Skyfall the R and dynamically hurl through the steepness with a tricky finish.

Start 20m down and R of BJ below the insanely steep prow. A few moves up the face then boulder R out onto the prow. Follow this before breaking the lip to the anchors. Back jump to clean.
