Routes in Tiger Wall for selected grade

Start as for BT.

FA: Louise Shepherd, Tim Day (alt) - 1994-02-00

P1 (25m, -) Up BT for 22m then move 3m R to hanging belay.

P2 (25m, 21) Up to roof and scarily over it (you're 3m L of 'Time Out' at this point). Committing!

An eye catching and intimidating route. Quite a committing lead, but with good gear available if you have the skill. NB the tombstone block has now been made relatively safe (pinned).

Start: Start 2m R of K.

A variant start to 'Harrier'.from the left.

Start 3 metre right of 'Harrier'. Head diagonally left up smooth orange wall to join 'Harrier' at the bulge.

Great climbing in the first 25m - the rest is a bit dirty and easy, but OK climbing, and can be avoided by stepping back L to the DRB of Antiques Road Show. Start 8m L of Skylark. Up and a little L to a FH at 12m as for Antiques Road Show, then move up and R through the bulge about 4m R of the 2nd FH of Antiques Road Show. Continue straight up for 10m then step L to DRB unless you like the look of the very dirty 20m of moss above.

To avoid confusion - there are not 3 routes on this bit of wall. AR is a retro of the first 15m of this climb then Ab Fab comes in from the right and finishes up this climb to the Kestrel ledge.

The central line up the wall has a lot of good climbing. Can be done as one long pitch. The bolt tally is for the top pitch.

1. 25m Do 'Velvet Green', or Mother Brown.

2. 30m 21 Step left from belay and through the first overlap past FH as for Surfacing, step right and up into shallow corner then swing back left and pretty much straight up to rap anchor.

Climb the corner crack of 'Yo Yo' then continue directly up (rather than traversing R to the guano). Follow incipient crack directly up lichenous country to belay on ledge 2-3m L of Yo Yo's 3rd belay.

Start: Start at the 1st belay of 'Yo Yo'.

Two good pitches. The easy top of pitch one can be a bit dirty.

Start: Start 3 metres right of 'The Eighth Direct'.

1. 25m (20) Thin cracks up wall to bulge. Over bulge and slab to belay.

2. 15m (21) Thin face and step in overhang. Steeply up front of buttress. Easy traverse left to 'Nakablitz' rap-anchor.

The route starts from the big ledge at the end of Syrinx's 3rd pitch, about 7m R of Sunday Best.

1. 21 (40m) Climb straight up to a diagonal at half height. Step left onto the smooth orange rock to a bolt. Continue up past 2 more bolts to break through the roof about 2m L of Headbanger at 4th bolt. Probably 20 for taller climbers.

Hard moves down low and glorious rock on the headwall. Could be done in one pitch but the cruxes are at the beginning and end.

Start: Start about 8m right of 'Greasy Burritos' from a diagonal ramp.

1. 22m (21) Step out left from the ramp and climb past FH into seam and follow it until it eases. Belay on a small stance below steepening (there is a better stance 4m lower but the anchors are poor).

2. 13m (21) Move up and step left below the headwall. Rock up the headwall past 2FH on some of the finest stone anywhere to large ledge and rap anchor.

As usual here second pitch is the best. Start about 5 metres right of DVIT and 5 metres left of 'Senior Citizens'.

1. 25m (15) Follow thin line up a series of discontinuous walls to ledge.

2. 20m (21) Blocky corner then straight to roof. Hard over this then up left-leading line past final bulge.

Hard start and good top pitch. Start 5 metres right of 'Senior Citizens' at an overhanging groove.

1. 20m (21) Hard moves lead to easy corner. Up to belay on right.

2. 20m (19) Climb the stepped orange corner on the right to rap anchor. Protection is difficult in places.
