Routes as trad in England

The clean crack in the right facing corner. The lower section is somewhat polished and is the crux while the upper section is a bit more juggy but still interesting. Good gear throughout.

Starting at the crack in the centre of the unconquerables, head left through the series of under clinging flakes.

Jam and lay back the obvious crack to the left of the wall

Layback the flake just left of the descent gully. Tricky move to finish.

Lovely crack climbing up the obvious (and very polished) corner.

Classy climbing that tests the rope work.

Put up pre 1900. Straight up the crack, move right to grab the strange protruberance and up again. Becoming more and more polished.

Start in leaning groove, climb to bridge below bulges then follow flake crack which eases off towards the top.

Straightforward climb directly up the crack

A classic climb.

Jam up the stunning crack - steep strenuous and well protected.

A 4 star route in the guide. Climb 'Crack of Doom' to the roof, then traverse leftwards to a hard pull into a rest in the niche. Finish either direct or up right via 'The Five Star Finish'. Is generally considered THE best climb on grit, some disagree.

The long crack in the wall is started at a small rightward facing corner then direct up.

Start in the difficult off-width corner to gain a rest above. Then climb to glory up the corner crack to the top.

The gentle and beautifully textured granite arete provides an ideal initiation to the more manageable routes at Bosigran. Pitches 1 & 2 are usually combined.

1. 22m. Climb up the steep right-hand side of the arete. As the angle gradually becomes less steep, shift your position to the left, onto the actual arete, and continue following it until a suitable belay position.

2. 18m. Continue along the arete, progressing towards a terrace where multiple belay options are available.

3. 19m. Scale the steep cracks located at the rear of the bay, persevering until you reach the summit.

Climb the wide crack to the left hand end of the slab.

Start up Gamma then head right at the diagonal crack along sparse gear, continue to traverse right along the scooped ledge then finish up jugs left of Trapeze Direct

a nice easy ascent following the wall on the right of the gully and about 5m from the top changing to the left following a nice and tight chimney up for the last part.

a strong line and good climbing make this a popular and impressive undertaking. start about 10m right of the point that the approach path begins to drop down towards the main area.

A superior variation on Black Velvet. Climb the corner half way up that route, but move out left to a possible belay. Climb the corner above to an exposed nose which is climbed by a series of awkward and poorly protected mantelshelves

a truly wonderful climb, they don't come much better. the climbing is straightforward but intimidating with good protection placements. start beneath the central corner

Start as for Trapeze Direct to the bulge then traverse right to the left trending groove. Keep heading right to finish as for Nursery Slab

The first of two well-protected, classic corner-lines. A good introduction to the area. Start at the bottomless corner that forms the left hand side of the sheer wall, left of ‘The Bad Step’.

14m: Pull straight into the corner…

The long groove on the right side of the pillar. Good pro throughout.

Traditional hard Grit VS. Not for the novice or faint-hearted VS leader.

The amazing splitter crack through the roof on creaky flakes.

One of the best of its grade hereabouts. Start just right of ‘The Bad Step’, below a thin crack with an old peg in place at 4m.

14m: Climb the thin crack with difficulty, passing the peg…

A high-moorland classic that features crack-climbing in all of its guises. It is possible to run the upper pitches together. Start on the right side of the flake that sits at the base of the gully.

1. 9m. Climb the crack and then the groove above (it is also possible to climb the left face of the groove) to a good ledge.

2. 9m. Chimney up the steep crack and exit onto a large ledge and belay.

3. 9m. The easy chimney above to finish. Belay on blocks. © Rockfax

Start as for Gamma up the large crack, traverse left then up the large flake.

A well-protected pitch. Start at the shallow corner and crack directly above ‘The Bad Step’.

14m: Step in from the right and use twin cracks to gain the corner…

Can be climbed as two pitches by linking P1 and P2 together.

P1 can be linked into P2 and P3 of 'Doorpost' to create a 3-star "direct" route.

Up the corner crack to the overhang and follow the rightward traverse . Good holds to finish.
