Routes in Baring Head for selected grade

Climb the left arete on its right side. Sit-start, then link a collection of slopey holds up the arete.

From the central jug, dyno to the lip and exit direct.

An excellent route up the arete, with long moves between good holds.

Starts just right of Neils Arete. A variety of good holds lead up to an unusual two finger pocket, crank off this to the jug and exit direct.

Eliminate - See Rock Deluxe North.

A line of rusty old carrot bolts – an old aid route – shows the way. Though-provoking moves in the open groove.

Start up Shape Shifters and after the second bolt make a hard move onto the right side of the prow, finishing on Let Me Up.

A classic route with beautiful moves, climbing the right side of the prow. Originally a top-rope problem, Richard Thomson hand-drilled a bolt in 1988 and climbed the route with natural gear (finishing out left on the edge of the arete) – and a rest later eliminated by Roger Parkyn who named the route Padded Cell. Retrobolted, reclimbed and renamed by Richard Thomson in 2001.

Spring up on jugs, then pause to figure out the hard move past the third bolt. Single bolt belay.
