Belvedere Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

Summary:

Seasonality

All Sport climbing

Lat / Long: 33.750945, 73.066168

summary

Nice winter crag with some intermediate climbing on short routes.

description

Belvedere is a crag in the hills behind Saidpur Village close to the beginner staple crag Beetle's Nest. The crag gets direct sunlight most of the day making it unideal outside of the winter months. The routes are between 15-25 meters of beginner-intermediate climbing. Mostly just some boulder problems to solve with very little sustained climbing. Still really fun to climb, although most routes have very dangerous runouts on the easiest sections so be careful.

access issues

Trail gets reclaimed by thorny bushes all summer and has to be cleared when winter comes back.

approach

From the Des Pardes Restaurant parking area, head along the paved street in Saidpur village and down the ramp on the right on to a cemented path. Follow the path that turns into a dirt trail for about 10 minutes crossing a volleyball field to your left. At the fork, turn left in front of the hill the crag is on (Search for letters "NF" on a large boulder on the hill at the top of New Friends route). From there walk along the trail for about 5 minutes until a very thin steep trail goes into the bushes on your right in front of a boulder on your left. Follow the trail for about 10 minutes (a scramble on two easy boulders about 5 minutes in here) until you arrive at the crag.

ethic

Sport climbing and lower to clean. Please report any damaged fixed gear here!

3	★★ Get up, Stand Up Warning Fixed Gear: Missing Anchor Bolt Start with balancy moves and sketchy footholds, up to the tufa with big jugs. Once you stand up on it and get onto the slanted ledge, the rest is pretty easy. Just don't fall down because the runout to the anchor is massive.	{FR} 6a+	Sport 18m, 4
4	★ For the girls Start directly under the first bolt with a powerful pull on a great crimp but bad feet or further from the right with many holds but difficult and risky clipping. Climb into the crack next to the tree roots and make your way up the right of the boulder looking for good crimps. Final half is a scramble before you have to climb the over hanging boulder. Be mindful of the massive runout here and clip into the bolt on the overhang quickly. Holds are mostly solid but be wary of loose rocks.	{FR} 6a	Sport 20m, 4
