Name Translates as concave angle Japanese Climbing Grade 3級

Follow the stitches in the rock.

An amazing line that starts from the lowest left crimp and tops out the boulder. The last move to the top jug is easy but scary because of the bad landing with a large boulder in the center. But it can be well protected with 2/3 pads and a good spotter. The crux is in the first middle section of the problem.

Traverse on the highest point of the boulder from one end to the other end.

Japanese Grade: Shodan (初段)

Translates as "Hole employees"

A true classic on this rock. Start from an undercling and climb up the edge of the rock. Use some creative drop knee and heel hook to stay close to the wall in order to bump your left hand on the sloper. Squeeze hard and go big on your right hand to grab the top and mantle to end the climb.

Easy for tall people and hard for small people.

Climb the arete to the right of 'Dead End' Japanese Grade - 7級

An easier version of Mine no Yu which starts from the right edge, climbs up and then traverses left to reach the top of the crux move of Mine no Yu. The climbing is amazing with great moves on perfect crimps. A little scary at the top as it is quite high but with enough pads and a good spotter it is relatively safe.

An easier variation compared to Goya Cha (If you have strong fingers). Go straight up the face of the rock. Share same start as Goya Cha.

The most famous route! Start with a toe hook and climb the left/middle part of the rock.

Start on two jugs and move across to a rail. Afterwards follow the stitches to top up.

Use this route as a warm-up or as the down-climb for The Tape and Stitches.

The route is marked by bones in the shape of a 7 cemented into the wall with 19770613 carved into the wall. The route starts to the right of the bones on small crimps and travels to the left over the bones to top out.

Gets very wet after rain!

Start from big jugs and climb up through the left side face of the stitches. Big and comfortable pockets.

Climb up using crimps on the middle section of the wall and mantle to finish. Do not use the jugs on the right side.

About 25 moves.
