5.5 G | The Middle Earth Chimney - The Eastern Route
The easiest way to get on top of the stack. Access this section by walking around the ME Boulder from the south of it. This section is essentially the upper part of the Inner Chimney route on the ME boulder. Protect in the hand and finger crack with nuts or intermediate sized cams (finger and double finger sized). One or two placements. Top Anchor: Cracks. Same as for the main chimney. | 6m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||
5.5 PG | ★ Coshise Fake - Long Route
Immediately left of the Bare Necessities routes, on the featured wall with the trees above. The line in middle of that wall with finger crack. The crack can take finger sized nuts or cams. Use one odd tricky chicken heads to further protect, as needed. *Mess up that chicken head sling, and the fall is directly to the ground. | 6m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||

5.5 PG | Cochise Fake
Immediately left of the Bare Necessities routes, on the featured wall with the trees above. The line in middle of that wall with finger crack. The crack can take finger sized nuts or cams. Use one odd tricky chicken heads to further protect, as needed. Mess up that chicken head sling, and the fall is directly to the ground. The same route could be used to set up about four-five ropes, with the trees as the anchors. Gear: Smaller sized cam/s or nuts. Slings for the chicken heads. Not a very gear-intensive route. One cam or couple of small nuts should be more than adequate. Anchors: Trees. Exiting: Please, please leave TATs behind or learn to use ghost anchors to save the trees. Or climb out and top out through the vegetation. Facing: West FKA: April 24th, 2022. Sohan supported by Latha BM & Charan H. | 6m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||
5.5 X | Amrit Line
Around the corner, facing Bangalore. Amrit had soloed this line sometime back, and plans to put some bolts to be able to lead the line. An intermediate graded line. | 6m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||
5.5 R | Table for One
Crack & roof To the right of the Vajra line, over the slab, protect the thin horizontal crack (finger or half finger sized cams or pink tri-cam), and over the roof, the slab and crack.

Anchor: Same as that of Nehru’s Fault Route courtesy: Sohan, June 2022 | 8m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||
5.5/6 | Peanut Stall, Zen Garden Boulder
The offwidth on the Zen Garden boulder, facing north. Starts in a chimney left of a tree. Through the tree to the offwidth. This face of the Zen Garden boulder is covered by thick vegetation. Rack: Slings for the tree, and #4, #5, #6 (optional) cams. Large hexes and small gear for the anchors.

5.5 | Piece in a Pod
Up the south-east corner of the Zen Garden. Long easy looking slab. Seam crack starting behind a tree. Protect using the seam and climb on the slab. The seam extends only half-way up. Use the trees and get creative with slinging the protrusions in the rock (if you need to). Exit: Either down climb or walk around to the left or right and hike down Facing: West Rack: Micro-nuts (offsets), and full rack for the anchor. Anchor: Boulder and cracks. Boulder is too large to sling. But a large hex, #3 cam, and a #1 cam (to the right) would suffice. Natural Anchor: Boulder FKA: Amrit Appaden | 15m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||
5.5 G | Passion for Bouldering
Through the series of two boulders in the chimney, and the tree. Deceptively NOT a scrambling line, especially on the last boulder before the tree. Excellent route for a first lead, as the protection is excellent, especially at the crux on the second boulder, to the right. Gear: Hand and fist sized pieces. Anchor: Tree FA: Gujju Razzak with Charan H and Sachith. June 11th, 2022. | 10m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||

5.5 | Gear-Kanuni Hemidactyl
Chimney/Offwidth Immediately to the right (10 meters) of the Decepticon Boulder. Single move Chimney crux till the deep fist jam, and then the route is quite done. Easy climbing to the tree for the top anchor. Rack: One #3 cam, and cordage for the tree. Top anchor: The tree Natural Anchor: The tree Documented by: Prakhaar Gaur & Sohan, Oct 31st, 2021 | 5m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||
5.5 | ★ The Hump Chimney
Chimney/Offwidth Immediately to the right of the Bhandup ka Popeye. Easy, but exciting top-out, especially if you don’t have wide-gear. Starts as a squeeze chimney, then converts to an offwidth at the top. Most common top-out is by going over the edge to the right of the crack. Possible to protect with smaller wide-gear or a couple of fist-sized pieces, if ok with running it out in sections. Rack: Wide-Gear (BD cam# 4, 5, & 6 ideal) or Fist-sized pieces (doubles) with run-out. Top-Anchor: Hand- and Fist-sized gear, and long anchor (30-foot cordlette) Natural Anchor: None FKA: Sohan & Kiran Kallur, Oct 23, 2021 | 8m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||
5.3 - 8 | Finger One & Two
As you walk along the base to the south, a couple of slabs separated by a channel filled up with mud. Both sets of the slabs could be protected with gear or from the trees atop them. | 10m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||
5.5 | Shady Respite
One crack that takes purple or green BD cam, and then the tree anchor. FKA: Akhil Menon with support from Amit Manikoth. July 31st, 2022 | 6m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||
5.5 | Howling Tree
Might have to dig out the soil to find a placement, but largely a soloable line. From the center to the tree. It is possible to also follow the line from the left to the shrub to the left, along the ledge, as a separate line. The shrub is not very solid to create a top-anchor out of. FKA: Narayan Pai. July 31st, 2022. | 8m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||
5.5 - 7 | Six Finger Slab
Three lines here; one of which could be led on gear, and the other two are currently soloed. The leadable line is to the far left, thin cracks take finger sized pieces (cams only). Or maybe pitons. The take-off crux here, and then easy line to the top. The weakest (5.5) take-off section is to the right. And then follows a series of weaknesses diagonally going left. And top out towards the left horizontal crack. The third line follows to the right, closer to the edge, and then exposed but easy climbing to the tree. Three top-rope lines could be setup, with one from the tree in the channel, and two on either side about 8-10 feet below in the horizontal cracks. FKA: Sohan.

5.5 | Top Pop
Finger and Hand Crack The short crack on the trail between Crack Jack and Holy Crack. On the approach to the Red Sea plateau via the path left of Slab Crack Boulder, located just below the main plateau. Or if approaching from the Red Sea Plateau, on the trail between Holy Crack and the Holy Crack, look for the path going downhill through a jumble of boulders, and through a narrow passageway between the boulders, the path winds down and switchbacks. About 50 meters from the Holy Crack. The crack is facing west. Another quick one-piece route. A satisfying route for beginner crackclimbers. Facing: West Rack: Hand and finger pieces. Anchor: Crack runs all the way to the top and behind. Natural Anchor: None / Hip Belay | 5m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||

5.5 | ★★ The "easy" access chimney
Honestly walking around would be a lot easier, but it's a fun little adventure to chimney straight up instead. Access chimney from the top of the white slab. There are big boulders wedged in space at intervals up the chimney which is what makes it comfortable to do without a rope. | 10m | Phnom Gong Kaeb | ||

Offwidth/Hand Crack As you walk up from the Higher Noon Plateau towards You or I, the off-width crack on the stand-alone boulder to the right of the trail. *Mildly tricky top out. One piece protection with hand sized piece before the top-out. Anchor: Possible to build a top anchor with one or two hand sized pieces. Exit by scrambling over the boulders and a thorny shrub.

As you walk up the trail past the High Noon and where the trail turns right, the west face of the Simian boulder is featured with a wide chimney and a neem tree at the base. The chimney hosts a Bee-hive for part of the year. The scramble through pile of boulders at the base is also good way to access the Holy Crack section of the Red Sea Plateau. Rack: Hand sized pieces and below. Top anchor: Tree. FKA: Dave Gates by the way of soloing it out in his approach shoes! June 22,2022 | 12m | Yedumadu/Raogodlu, Kanakapura | ||

5.4/5 | B-Cheek
5.6. 10 meters. Hands, chimney, fingers. 50 meters to the right the High Noon boulder (south-east), the most prominent crack system with a tree at the top, and a chimney at the base. Couple of options to get into the crack, either through the Chimney at the base, right of the chimney (over an easy boulder), or from the left over a Rhino shaped feature with a crack above it. Suggested to start left. The direct chimney or the right start reduce the grade to 5.4/5. Bouldery start from the left, finger sized to small placements, then cut right, into the chimney, and through the hand crack, to the slab with finger crack, and past the tree. Suggested traverse right under the boulder to create the anchor. The crack at this point is more stable for top anchor. Exciting little line, with moments while traversing right, and then all the way to the slab. Hard to believe that this little classic was undocumented or not shared up until March of 2021! Facing: west Rack: Up to fist sized pieces. Save the fist sized cam for the anchor. Anchor: Cracks under the boulder at the top out.

The east facing line is one of the easiest chimneys encountered so far around Yedumadu, and easy to protect. The left most yellow line in the image below. The first 15-feet is back-and-foot wide, then a narrow ledge to stand up on, and place the #6 cam, that protects the transition to the next wide ledge. Bump the cam up and run out the last eight-nine feet to the top out through the squeeze chimney section. Facing: West Rack: One #6 Cam to protect the line, and a couple of #3/#4 cams for the anchor. Anchor: Cracks above Natural Anchor: Boulder or the tree behind it, 30-foot long cordage. FKA: Sohan supported by Kyra (Mar 2021) Vinayaka set is in fact three high boulders stacked up next to each other and forms two chimneys between them. With multiple lines for both lead and top ropes. Located about 30-feet south-west of the Redeemer rock. Or about 40 feet east of the Vedauwoo Boulder. Multiple ways to access.
