12 Pablo's Predicament

An excellent outing for the grade up the rounded orange arete. Plenty of gear and big holds where it steepens. Finish by squeezing into the chimney at the top, or (better) up the unprotected lichenous slab to the left.

14 Manual Disimpaction

Not a particularly pleasant experience. Up the obvious right hand crack of the face you first get to with some bushes about 5m below the top.

Trad 18m
15 Hands-free Manual Disimpaction

As the name implies, a slightly more pleasant line compared to its neighbour. The crack to the left of Manual disimpaction.

16 Groupthink

The first 10-15m is pleasant steep climbing. The next line left of Hands-free manual disimpaction.

15 Thoughtcrime

Start at the wide crack R of Rorogwela, romp up over a few ledges and finish up Groupthink.

22 Rorogwela RHV

As for Rorogwela, but head R out of the pod to avoid the top crux. A good option when the swallows are nesting.

23 Rorogwela

A stonker of a route, probably one of the best trad routes in the North-West. Named after a Solomon Island folk tune which was plagarised by the French band Deep Forest without due recognition. Obvious line on the seawards face of the crag. Start on block in the middle of the face, up this for about 5m, then move right to the start of the left-trending flake. Up this until there is a massive rail on the left - from here go straight up the the pod halfway up the climb. Have a good rest, look around and think about how amazing this spot is. Then up with a slight leftward trend to top - a fun crux sequence with incredible exposure.

23 Rorogwela Variant

As above - at the massive rail on the left traverse left on this, up and then rejoin the line at the pod. Avoids the first reachy crux on Rorogwela.

16 Grandma Baz

Start about 3 metres to the left of Rorogwela. Up faint line, then up the the middle break. Straight up over a steep finish.

3 Exit Route

Obvious gully to the left of Grandma Baz. Easy down scramble.

Trad 15m
12 Cymande

The lichenous looking crack 3m to the right of Chocolate and cruskits. Actually not a bad line with good exposure for the grade.

14 Chocolate and Cruskits

Some would say a terrible idea. The wide looking crack in the middle of the landwards face.

The crack 3m to the left of Chocolate and cruskits.

15 Have a shag on the nice flat rock under this instead

Meh. The line opposite the actual crag with a flake at the top. Title is self-explanatory.
