Routes in Nellies Glen

Topo created based on some sketchy 'knowledge' from some old timers. Treat with great suspicion.

"Old aid route." [That's all in the 1995 Guidebook - Ed.]

Start: From rap point 10m right of On Any Sunny Day facing out. Rap 50m to DBB on arete.

1. (25m) 23 Wall and arete to break below bulge. Up left then up to jugs to join "Boiling Tide". Up and right via old BRs to arete to DBB.

2. (25m) 21 Mantle below arete, to ledge, bulge, arete and wall.

Topo notional - route not confirmed. [But if I was looking for a 100m arete, I imagine it would be here - Ed.]

Start: Rap 40m, 30m (chains), 35m (tree) to DBB.

1. (35m) 20 Slabby arete.

2. (25m) 22 Wall, left to arete, up to ledge, right and up to chain.

3. (40m) 21 Wall and arete.

Topo entirely imaginary - route not confirmed.

#Historical Description from Bryden Allen's 1963 guide.

"Climbed on the SRC's 9th anniversary.

Start: On opposite side of Nellies Glen to Burgundy Buttress. From Nellies Glen track to left around foot of cliff face to first obvious buttress through thick scrub.

Details forgotten. Lower parts very scrubby but upper pitches provide some interesting problems."
