Nodos en White Whale

Weathered sandstone under a ruined lighthouse.

Rock looks poor. Yet after laps, 0 breakages. Committed moves on big holds. Bring spare skin this rock will grip to your bones. The first boulder you come to on the platform. Begging to be climbed. 3 stars for positioning and outlook. Moves are great fun. Just the quality question in the back of your mind keeping it fun

Sit start sharp holds. Will become a classic line on science boulder for sure.

Easy way to the top. just right of arete. Again rock looks poor quality, After testing rock scientifically by climbing, 0 breakages have occurred. This result is not expected after further tests.

Traverse left to right. The top of the boulder is not allowed. Rubbish feet, ok hands.

Undercut dyno. Good hands (very wide and low though...), rubbish feet.

Sit start left hand on big undercut and right on sidepull/crack. Move up and top out left side of small nose.

Sit start with both hands in the crack. Move up and top out in small scoop.

Stand-start with LH on sidepull and RH on undercling. Move up and exit left.

Start as for Shepard's Warning for a couple of moves but pike via a span right to finish as for Shepard's Pie.

Stand start on a flat left hand edge and a low right hand pocket. Smear feet and move up dynamically then up again and exit left.

Starting on the slopey rail, move up to the big jug hole. Tackle the roof and top out without shitting your pants. Bring pads and spotters... Possibly double digits. Various links abound.

Stand start and follow the rail up and left. Top out before the roof. Bring pads and spotters.

Sit start to the right and follow the prow out and around the roof. Bring plenty of pads and spotters.

Sit start on wide sidepulls at far right, topping out high on the left as for Shepard's Pie.

Nice warm up. Start as for Belly of the Whale and traverse left, topping out as for About to Take on Water.

Sit start on the arete. Top out to the left.

Stand start. LH juggy gaston or flat crimp, RH undercling. Go up a few moves and head left on good holds after the mega jug. *Big boulder at the base has tipped over as of May 2022, considerably changing the start.

Sleep Orca exiting direct via a committing throw. Absolute classic.

Start low on flat edge and big pinch. Do a few moves and exit to the lip as early as possible. OG beta didn't use the pocket but probably same grade if you need to use it.

Low start down in hole with RF up high. Follow slopey shelf and arete up and left to top out. Bad landing, at least 2 pads recommended.

Sit start on the crimpy rail. Move up via slopey arete to top out to the left over the hole.

There are probably a couple of lines to go on this face on small pockets.

Sit start from low juggy undercling and make a powerful move up, from where the difficulty eases.

Start on low undercling jug 2 metres left of Dead Calm. Make a move up to flat pedestal jug and continue all through the cave to top out.
