Routes in Ibaraki Ken for selected grade

One of Kasama's finest problems and worth seeking out. Climb the egg shaped boulder!

Using the lip is okay.

Start as for Heartbeat Arête, but swing round onto the left of the arête and on to the top. Scarier than than the original.

A strange problem using the mono pocket to swing onto the slap from the right.

Climb Face from a sit start. Kasama grading has a stiff reputation for things like this - 6A going on 7A.

A mantle problem on the undercut arête. Start sitting and pull up and over onto the arête.

Traverse leftwards and finish when you reach the top of the jugs.

Climb the slabby arête on its right side.

Pull on as per the previous route, but climb the crimps rightwards to the top.

Start RH on the high undercling, LH on the arête.

Dig out all the dirt in the crack between the boulders, sit down, then climb it. Finish out rightwards to the top of the main boulder.

Start sitting and climb the flake to the top.

Start on underclings in the crack. Named after the lump that formed on the first ascensionist's head after a hold broke.

Climb the nose of the boulder.

Start with hands on each arête, then trend round the right arête and on to the top.

A harder mantle problem.

Pull on and finish leftwards. Name means 'fall left'.

Do as the name says and lunge rightwards to the lip.

One of the best problems of the grade at Kasama. The left arête is in. The grade is very reach dependent.

Mantle problem using the sloping crack and the thin rail above to gain the left hand side of the slab. A sit start coming in from the bottom of the Neko crack is also possible at 6A.

More a sidepull / gaston move than an undercling.

Mantle onto the arete left of Paradise Gate.
