Routes in Nepal for selected grade

Easy but quite run-out.

Fun new route, following the central chimney in the middle of the crag. Best bolted and least run-out route on the crag.

Easy but run-out.

There are at least two major variations on this route: one keeping to the right and one keeping to the left. The one to the right that follows the arrete like feature to the top is probably the easiest route on the whole crag, maybe 5b. The one to the left is somewhat trickier, maybe 5c+

Start at the middle of the boulder, work you way up to the out crop, traverse left on the ledge, then finish of by heading right over the tuft of grass.

On the southwest facing arete, start with right foot on sloping ledge, reach up for the first jug, move up the arete and finish with the steps at the top.

Up the clean slab just left of the pill of crops on the boulders black face. Up to the arete and traversing right to top out.

Start just left of a bridge over the river. Smearing under the overhang, step up traversing left. Finishing just left of the top block.

First route right of the three routes with 7 and 8 painted below them. Pleasant route with a couple ways to pull the crux.

4+4 bolts. From the chimney, walk downslope to the right face. Route 15 and 16 climb the arete on the right of the chimney. First pitch of route 17 heads directly up the face. Gets you above treeline to see Kathmandu and Swayambhunath at the second anchors. Totally worth it. Second pitch is the crux pitch

#3

The first of the three 'ABC' routes between the routes numbered 3 and 4 on the wall. The ABC routes are accessible via a cable way leading up to the belay place. This is the leftmost line of bolts (6 bolts).

#5

The right-hand variation.

Topo.

Easy, but long and exposed traverse.

Up the slab traversing right to the middle line of bolts. First anchor a few meters before the end of the slab up the route slightly right of the bolt line. One additional anchor only 5m off the ground, just after the traverse.

Up the last part of the slap, then slightly overhanging on good holds to the top.

To the left of the Yes & No climbs, there is another climb. I have not done it, not too sure. Check it out. Climb it. Looks like it is as hard as Yes, or maybe a little harder. Left of the main wall

Not sure of the true name, but when we were there after KCC ended, "No" was written in chalk at the base. Therefore we're calling it "No". Sorta awkward movement to some not so awkward movement, might be the altitude though. Left most route of the Kohanar Climbs.

Photo. A weird, finger crack that doesn't really require much jamming to climb. But also has good jams. It can be TR'd, but it is funky awkward and better to just climb it than go around to get to the anchor. Probably not the real name of the climb. Around the corner to the right from the main wall.

Boulder just before Namche helipad. Have fun squeezing and squirming.

Finish by grabbing the lip at the right block (when facing the boulder) 4m up, but avoid pulling yourself past the lip and topping out which would damage the lichen.

Slightly tricky to get established, and a nice little topout. Downclimb after climbing as there is a stone fence just above the top out.

Boulder just after Namche helipad, below a building

30min walk from Talekhu

Sit start the left arete. 5m’s left of the main trail
