Waterfall Cliff Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

	Route	Grade	Style
1	Waiting for Steve A steep start, up the short arete left of Heart Strings. Good holds to clip from . Grab the Tea tree to clip the two bolt anchor. FA: Bryce Martin, Oct 2022	16	Sport 5m, 2
2	★★ Heart Strings Janne's favourite climb and Janne's my favourite person! A balancey start with technical face above. If you want the fill experience, continue past the Double Bolt belay, over the small over lap to the anchor of "one bolt that's no fun" FA: Stephen Shaw, 2017	15	Sport 9m, 5
3	★ Something blue Follow the line of blue bolts, best done with a blue sky, wearing blue over alls! Use the same anchor as "one jug..." FA: Stephen Shaw & Belayed by Janne, 7 Mar 2021	17	Sport 10m, 5
4	★ One Jug, That’s No Fun It is harder than it looks. Climb straight up the middle of the bluff on small pockets. The name has nothing to do with drinking! Same anchor as above. TBCMr FA: Stephen Shaw, 2015	18	Sport 11m, 7
5	Positively Bold Up the right handside of the bluff. The small stump on the right is not part of the climb! Double bolt, chain, and Maillon rapide anchor. FA: Stephen Shaw, 2017	17	Sport 9m, 4
6	★ Left Arete Power full start over a small over hang, then balance is needed to clip the second bolt. Two bolts and chain anchor. FA: Bryce Martin, 11 Oct 2022	17	Sport 7m, 2
7	Right Arete 499 new routes in 50 years of climbing, Awesome effort Bryce! Like the name suggests, climb the right hand side of the Arete up a short corner, to a double bolt and chain Anchor. FA: Bryce Martin, 11 Oct 2022	16	Sport 6m, 2
