The Terrace
23 Disintegration

Starts a bit further south of the main wall and can be accessed the same way by abseiling further down the south side.. Trad belay at the base is recommended.. Up the wall passing some gear to a thin section and a bolt (hanger required). Through the small roof (gear) then easier ground to the top.

19 Time and space

Start just left of disintegration. Up the face passing 2 bolts (crux), then pull into the flake and continue up the wall past another br and some gear.. Finishes at the DBB.. Take hangers.

14 Golden Smiles

Large blocky hold at about 3/4 distance is extremely fragile. Be very careful placing gear behind it or cranking on it hard

14 Happy Feet
  1. 10m, 14. Start about 5m right of Banana Split, go up the black wall for 2m, followed by 2m of horizontal breaks leading to a 4m vertical crack. Beware of loose rocks. Optional Belay on the ledge.

  2. 15m, 11. Continue up the lower ramp below the line of Northwind. On a hot day, consider climbing the second pitch barefoot to make them happier!

Note: this line was climbed to retrieve the trad anchor of Jug Abuse about 12m down and right of the optional belay of Happy Feet. Have others found a better way to clean the anchor of Jug Abuse (see drawing on S. Richardson’s guide)? Perhaps, many have been wise enough to stay away from Jug Abuse altogether 😉

19 Use No S.L.C.D.'s

Sustained. Climb obvious crack route up middle of face. Small cam/nut required for top section. Desperately look for the good hold to reach bolt (hanger required), then squirm your way over the top. DBB (ringbolts) can be found on top and to the left.

Nice climb up the corner with nice finishing jugs. DBB belay at top means you can rap back down!

23 Book of Confusion

We got a little lost trying to ascend BoF and ended up on this great line! start on West face, move slightly right to clip the first bolt. Long move up and right and into good rail beneath roof. Powerful pull through this up the left weakness, and then climb straight to the top, passing through slight open-book. The top half of the route shares the line of Baited Frenzy (18) with marginal protection.

23 Naming Rights

Traverse out right from the start of MF along the thin crack which takes a micro cam. Clip the bolt and crank up the face and fingercrack, through the bulge and onto the large ledge. Enjoyable climbing up the arete passing a bolt (plate required) and some natural gear to the top.

20 Ain't no slouch

Instead of clipping the bolt on NR, continue traversing right along the horizontal crack until at the base of the flared black groove. A few nice jams up past the chockstone to reach easier ground and the large ledge. Climb the easy face on nice rock passing a br (plate required).
