Voies sportive dans Zig Zag

Hard start of the platform, or link in from Harpo. Watch that death block about half way up.

squeezed in there

Rebolted 2006. Quite contrived as the difficulty depends on whether you bridge out onto the adjacent wall.

quite strenuous

go up Urako to 1st bolt, traverse left, then head up to lower offs between arete and Urako.

an excellent extension to dress rehearsal rag

Popular & thoughtful first pitch.

1. 15m (17) Rising traverse past 4 carrots to ledge. Solid at the grade.

2. 20m (21) Rarely done through steepness above. Not a sport pitch.

Thin slab. Start: Marked IRA.

Hard slippery move off ground then much easier jugs to ledge belay. Bring at least 5 bolt plates - three for lead bolts, and a couple for the bolt belay on the ledge. Rap 30m from Just for Fun lower-offs.

Start: As for 'Honey Dip'.

1. 30m (15) A sport pitch. Clip first bolt on 'Honey Dip', stem across gap. Right to middle of face, up veering right to cave. Across void onto arete. Inside of arete to ledge (rings - double rope abseil!)

2. 20m (-) Up, veer right through overhang to ramp.

Proud black arete. Best to start on the left side of the scoops at short flake crack past a BR (shared start with E Racer). The rest has been rebolted with rings - but still worth bringing a # 4 and # 0.75 cam for the runout easy middle section. Can be finished two ways - both the same grade. The original finish heads left up the cleaner streak away from the arete for the last two bolts (same finish as E Racer). The arete direct is still really good climbing but a little mossier.

Line of bolts 2m left of Racer's Edge which eventually joins into that routes original left trending finish right at the top. A mix of FHs, carrots and rings. At the 3rd bolt trend right boldly into Racers Edge for a few moves then back left to the worn sidepull (doing the move without this dogleg looks highly contrived and very hard!). Graded 24/25 in the Carter print guide.

Great technical slab/face climb. Since the 'rebolt' it should be renamed Flakes as you no longer get any Shakes! If you were lucky to have done it before the 'rebolt' consider yourself lucky to have experienced one of the best routes of the 'old' mountain tradition. Only one bracket required for the high first bolt - the remaining are FHs and rings.

The wall directly below the lower-off for Shakes and Flakes - shares the top 2 bolts of that route. No brackets required. About 7 or 8 bolts.

Blank, but with hidden holds. Just left of Let's Nail God - and shares that routes easy slab start and first high ringbolt. Once established on the main wall weave around on good edges and small pockets to exciting finish just right of arete to lower-offs. The original version traversed right above the anchors across mossy slab to join into top of Shakes and Flakes - this is still possible but requires a long runner.

Slightly obscured from view as it starts from a high ledge. Grovel up wide crack or bolted undercut arete on the left then dawdle up 5m of ledges to begin the real climbing on the left wall. Orange scoops (U-bolts) then head out to join Cheap Skate's arete with FHs. Lower-off. No bolt plates required.

Black arete on FHs about 7m left of No Pants. Stick-clip high first bolt for bouldery start off cairn (shared start moves with 327). This can be climbed as a sport route if you don't mind 5m runouts on easy ground - don't forget 1 hanger for lone hidden carrot (?!) about halfway up the arete. Best to rap rather than lower from the anchors as the rope gets trashed over edge.

A line of rings on the rap ledge. Splits into a left project (looks good) and right line (no tag, so must be done.

Short and steep.

Start: Directly above the FHs for rap into 'Catch the Wind'.

1. 12m (-)

2. -m (-)

6 RB,s left of Fandooglie on nice red rock. Pumpy last move after crux.

Stickclip first RB for bouldery start, up past another pockety sequence to steep jugs.

Has additional mallion on right anchor bolt for lowering to stop rope twisting.
