Bisset's Pinnacles Guide

'Stolen' Weel worth the effort. Starts at the Centre of Appastic Buttress. Follow the line L of Appatistic Crack. Delicate at first to clip the bolt (not really good) then follow the line to the top.

Climb Appastic Crack until its possible to step L into a SOTC.

The obvious curving crack on the R side of the Appastic Buttress.

U R of Appastic Buttress and just before the gully are a couple of obvious cracks. Jam the steep L hand crack, then take the easy corner.

Half way up the L wall of the descent gully behind the main face there is square cut crack line. Traverse across the slab to the crack and up it.

On a small buttress up the R of Thermography are two parralell cracks. Bridge to start and take the R hand crack.

The thin and tenuous crack on the back wall at the rear of the finish to Erbiverous Delving. Up the crack and L onto the arete.

One of the best. Start as for Calabrian. Hand traverse L across the L leading horizontal crack to the centre of the wall. Follow the thin crack all the way to the top.

A worthwhile jamming problem. Tape up. At the L hand end of the main face are two distinct cracks. Climb the L hand crack up to the overhang, step out and continue up the crack to the top.

Superb, but how thin are your fingers. Starts as for Calaban, but moves diagonally R to a horizontal break, then up the finger crack to exit L of the top block.

Take a trowel?

1. 12m 14 Climb the scrubby corner to a cave on the L, move around the roof to a large ledge.

2. 24m 14 (crux) Climb the corner at the R end of the ledge, past a fixed pin and continue up the chimney. Descent is down Abseil Flake Crack from a small bollard whick overlooks the gully behind the main cliff.

Yuck. Starts 4m R of the original start, directly below the 2nd pitch. 1a Climb the wide crack to the overhang.

Too short, but nice. Climb the flake crack to the bollard. There is a fixed pin here to rappel off in conjunction with the bollard.

INteresting and varied. Towards the L end of the main face, there is an obvious groove crack which curves to the top. Start below the bush. Move up to traverse right wards to the line. Follow the larger crack to the top.

Exasperating. Starts as for G. Up the line then take the thin crack up the face. A mad dash L along the incipient edge leads onto the arete. Climb up the slab taking care bot to fall off (no runners).

The classic of the crag and under 20. The thin cae crack in the centre of the wall. Climb the short hard wall to start, past a pin (use it if you have to) to gain the starting ledge. MOve L along the ledge until under the rather obvious crack. Follow the crack as it get thinner all the way. Back up the Bolt Belay witha nut which should be there. Do not abseil off the bolt.

Mundane. Starts at the top of Spiral Architect. Clip the Bolt, mantle, then L up the line, go L to the bush. Up the crack.

The second pitch is nice, the first a disaster. On the main face there is an obvious offwidth which continues as a thin crack. To start, get to the ledge as for Spiral Architect.

1. 20m 20 Crux, Move up to the Offwidth, surmount the overhang and continue to the ledge and belay.

2. 20m 20 Continue up the thin crack to a small overhang, bridge it and move on to the top. Rod Young conceived and did the 1st Pitch but failed go further.

Some very hard moves. Takes the obvious curving crack at the L side of the black wall. The start is laybacked into the thin section. Up this (crux), then continue jamming to the flake. Follow this to belay under the roof.

Steep and fingery and a wee bit bold. May need a clean after winter. The impossible looking seam in the centre of the black wall. Past 3 pins to the top. The first pin is miles off the ground.

Great Climbing i an exposed position. Starting on a ledge at the top of Cutting It Fine. Up to reach the flat top, then jam up the crack.

It will give you just that lol. Start on the back of the main pinnacle opposite Pacemaker. Jam the crack to the top.

Steep and technical. Will go free at some point. Starts at the wall down and L of Smiler. Boulder the wall with no pro to a pea-pod and a fixed pin (about Gr 19). Hard moves up and onto the ramp and follow this to the black wall. One or two aids brings the diagonal to hand. Swing R and up this to the top.

Good training if you like that stuff. On the main pinnacle is a blood-stained offwidth/corner crack. Up this and finish up R up the short jam crack.

Finish L instead of R

On the uphill side of the Main Pinnacle. The short crack.

About 30m uphill from the main pinnacle there is an obvious crack leading to an overhanging block. Climb the crack to the block and move R around the block and up to belay.

The start has a reputation for spitting people off. Start on the E side of the top pinnacle are. Jam the desperate start, then hand traverse or jam the diagonal crack L to belay.

The first climb in the area. The curving chimney on the top pinnacle.

The name tells a story. On the W face there is a crack parralell to a tree. Start up the crack to a vague rest at the horizontal break. Jam through the bulge and up to the top. The tree is not used for rest or aid - if its still there.

Starts L of Magnetic Strands, on top of the boulders between the main pinnacle and BHOBC pinnacle. Balancy moves up the crack line and onto the slab above.

No where as good as the name suggests. Starts on the W facing ( North Jawbones side) face of the pinnacle, 1m R of BHOBC pinnacle.

1. 25, Climb the mossy line.

2. 15m 14 crux, Climb the overhang on the L.

1. 25m 14 As for Magnetic Strands.

2. 17m 14M0 Flick a tape onto a high jug on the arete and use it to for aid to surrmount the overhang. Continue up the crack above to a ledge, traverse around the arete to belay.
