Routes in Seven Dials Area

Superseeded by Intermission.

Classic of yester-year. Climb brittle rock for 5m, step left into a stance, clip an average looking carrot. Up through horizontals, before reaching a good stance out L. Step back right into thin crack and up through orange bulge, then L to ledge.

Pull powerfully through the roof (watch the hollow flake!) and then up direct line.

A combination of routes which has become very popular. A good option for those who would rather climb an overhanging wall than an overhanging crack.

1. 18m (18) As for 'The Lonely Sea'

2. 27m (19) Up 'The Lonely Sea' to the horizontal ledge. Up under overhangs tending R to the sentry box on 'The Last Grain Race'. Up thin crack airily past an old peg on a steep wall. Step R (abseil possible here) or go and up past a couple of steps to the terrace.

Combines the best bits of 'La Mer' and 'The Last Grain Race' in a direct line. Intimidating climbing in exhilarating positions.

Start: As for TLGR. Up the crack as for TLGR to the narrow ledge [possible belay]. A rotten crack leads to a sentry box directly above. Gulp a couple of times then climb out onto the wall above, scurry quickly L to a crack, up this to a ledge [original belay spot]. Continue up cracks and corners to terrace.

One of the best at the grade in the Grampians. Sustained on great rock and reasonable protection. 1 piton and 1 BR

The overhanging crack 2 m left of The Lonely Sea. Mentioned in Grampians Selected Climbs. FA unknown.
