Routes in Trackside Boulders for selected grade

Eliminate. SDS on left end of the face. Traverse right on crimps while staying below the top (eliminating the top lip). Instead of RH side pull use low RH crimp and LH gaston to dyno directly to slope edge finish (eliminating intermediate holds in between the dyno and top). Surprisingly tricky.

Can also be done with the top lip at a similar (if not easier grade) but is not the way it was first ascended.

Diabolical and largely worthless lowball eliminate climbing NW arete from very lowest possible start (LH finger slope, RH lowest layaway) Slopers, slimps and layaways trending slightly right to gain the obvious square cut finger jug edges at ~10feet. All pockets eliminated. May get easier as the holds clean up.

Low sit start to Sally the slapper. Start on compression crimps, utilising toehooks to gain the underside of the bulge and finish up through the pocket over the lip and out.

Eliminates the arete of STS for hands, feet and hooks and also the big juggy blob at the top of the lower face (mostly so it doesn’t fall off and kill you). Sit start as for sally (or lower if you can do it without Arete). Hard first move to obvious sloper just inside the arete about a metre above the RH start hold then left to juggy horn. Move up past tree without using it (the tree, not the horn 🤦) to gain good holds on mossy upper arete and face to top out. Best not to fall off above tree. Actually climbs pretty well for contrived nonsense.

Hard sit start using undercling crimps and RH layaway. An eliminate without good layaway should be possible but pretty grunty. Differing opinions of which is easier, this or the measure sit.

Great! Technical more than hard. But not easy! RH slopers, LH Gaston edge. Tension climbing to gain slope lip of the stand.

Powerful SDS from good edge for the right and choice of features for the left.

V5 as a standing start with hands around chest height - right on the undercling dish, left on the lower sidepull with thumb catch. V4 if starting from the higher sidepull.

Big protruding block on the right at about chest height is off route for both hands and feet.

Open for business... The full traverse from right to left. SDS on Molly's big undercling, dropping down through start holds of Speedfreak, eliminating crimps on Toot, and finishing up 8 Ball.
