Routen als traditionell in Wall of Fools

Start: Start from the ground, 13m L of 'Handles'.

1. 15m (5) Juggy gutter to large ledge.

2. 15m (5) The juggy face left of 'Silk Purse', move R towards the top.

Up the corner, over the little capping roof.

Start: Start on the raised ledge beneath the left facing corner.

Straight up through slight bulge.

Start: Start between WYMM and the L side of the wall.

Up cracks and over bulge.

Start: Start at the R end of the high ledge.

Another relatively neglected line which looks very worthwhile. A star has been added to entice the crowds over from 'Back Wall'.

Start: Start just L of 'Handles'.

Long and sustained at the grade. Amazingly neglected considering the hordes which swamp the much smaller 'Back Wall' only 20m away.

Start: Start 3-4m L of SiS beneath the deep black corner/crack up high.

Doesn't see much action.

Start: Start as for 'Milupa'.

An unsung gem. A long, sustained and surprisingly airy adventure at a very accessible grade and with good pro. 2 stars may be slightly generous, but should help drum up the attention this route deserves.

Start: Start 3m L of 'Soweto'.

Despite being a bit of a squeeze job, it's an excellent (toprope for most) problem. Even thinner gear than Soweto. Cams, thin wires and long slings keep it sane but scary.

Start: Start just L of 'Soweto'.

A fantastic intricate face which looks unlikely at the grade.

Start: Start at the dusty base of the wall, beneath the silvery streak.

Classic technical thin wall climbing. Was once quite runout and dangerous - but this has been tamed (with permission from FA). Start at the left end of the raised ledge. Belaying from the ground might be an idea to reduce the fall factor.

A ridiculously thin looking black streak.

Start: Start beneath the widest black streak on the wall, about 20m L of the arch, and a few metres R of where the raised ledge peters out.

A very tough face.

Start: Start about 15m L of 'Milupa', 10m R of 'Innocent Fool'.`

The well publicised left side of the arch is probably the toughest route in Summerday.

Start: Start beneath the L side of the arch.

A thin slabby face that leads to a novel caving expedition.

Start: Start just L of 'Idiot Wind'.

A classic concept around the right edge of, and then above, the great arch.

Start: Start below the centre of the arch.

Start: Start just R of 'Idiot Wind'.

1. 15m (24) Scary lichenous climbing past very high bolt to hanging belay.

2. 15m (25) Past bolt to sloping ledge, then head R.

The exposed face and arete near the top are great.

Start: Start beneath the line of 'Mururoa'.

Not much pro to start.

Start: On the right side of the "arch" which dominates the 'Wall of Fools' is a vertical seam leading up to a right-facing corner. Start half a metre right of the seam.

Climb the prominent black streak and then carefully up the booming flake.

Start: Start about 5m R of 'Mururoa'.

A bouldery start gives way to an easier conclusion.

Start: Start 3m R of 'Flake of Fear'.

3 bolts.

Takes the prominent diagonal that runs up left into 'Mururoa'.

1. 41m (12) Climb the initial overhanging corner via the left arete. Grade 14 if started on the right. Follow the ramp into 'Mururoa' and up the corner to a big ledge.

2. 5m (-) The recessed corner above.

From the ledge at the start of 'Snow White', climb up the face past a fixed wire to the horizontal. Through the slight bulge then finish up a short slab.

Start: Start as for 'Snow White'.

Step off the block and up to the curving flake and a nice finish.

Start: Start on the left end of a large block about 10m R of 'Snow White'.

Follow the crack to a ledge. Move left across the slab and up to a streak of pale rock. Climb onto a right leading ramp and follow this. (The short corner on the ledge 3m to the R has been done).

Start: At the right end of the wall is a short diagonal crack, just left of the gully.

It's not often that HB has needed this many people to tow him up such an insignificant route...

Start: Start 2m L of 'Much Ado About Nothing'.

Climb the arete to the horizontal break. Move L and climb the crack in the centre of the face.

Start: Start on the block at the R end of the 'Wall of Fools'.

Ascent not confirmed?

Well named in retrospect... you'll probably experience some of this considering that the write-up is based on the old track!

Start: On the wall to the left of the steps just before the old campsite is reached. Follow the wall for about 15m and you get to the initial "I".
