5.4 PG (another trad route)

A couple meters left of "Bolt Line 3" is a small right-facing corner with a crack at the back. Start up this corner following it until it peters out, then angle gently up and left as gear allows. Finish by stepping left onto the ledge just below the anchors for "Ground Zero", pull up and right, then finish at the "Ground Zero" anchors.

(This climb is not described in a guide book from 2001 (which references works back to 1991), nor in more recent books/updates. It seems likely it has been climbed at some point in the last 30+ years of climbing on the escarpment, though the state of the moss and dirt in the cracks suggests not recently.)

5.3 Bolt Line 3

The 3rd bolt line on Spindrift Wall. Climb the face just outside the corner that is Arachnophobia.

5.3 Arachnophobia

Start in the mouth of the large cave, about 2m left of the jumble of rocks. Follow the obvious zig-zag crack under large solid flakes until it ends. At some point move left onto the main face, and continue up towards the cedar tree at the top of the cliff, stepping left right at the end to use the anchors for Bolt Line #3.

Trad 25m Eardley Escarpment
5.3 Ground Zero

The middle bolt line up the cliff.

Formerly an X trad route, now a very closely bolted sport route. This is a good lead for a beginning lead climber.

5.3 Adam's Route

Start on the crack between Bolt Line #1 and Ground Zero. Follow this crack until it peters out, then straight towards the top. Either top-out, or traverse left to the anchors on "Bolt Route 1".

This was originally graded 5.1 (Climbing on the Eardley Escarpment, Yann Troutet), but it is defintely no easier than "Ground Zero" or "Bolt Line 3".

5.6 Bolt Line 1

The left-most bolt line on Spindrift wall. Opening moves to first bolt are a bit intimidating (consider a stick-clip), but real crux is when the route gets thin between bolts 2 and 3.
