Start at the middle of the boulder, work you way up to the out crop, traverse left on the ledge, then finish of by heading right over the tuft of grass.

On the southwest facing arete, start with right foot on sloping ledge, reach up for the first jug, move up the arete and finish with the steps at the top.

Up the clean slab just left of the pill of crops on the boulders black face. Up to the arete and traversing right to top out.

#SD Located next to the northeast arete. Lay back the first few moves, reach up to ugly holds, finish off by getting your left foot high and ruck up.

Starting from the closest point of the boulder to the back wall. A bridging exercise to gain the top of the boulder.

#SD 1m right of "Smack the Donkey". Smear with small handholds. Well excuted move to gain the top avoiding the line of grass just below it.

Start just left of a bridge over the river. Smearing under the overhang, step up traversing left. Finishing just left of the top block.

Located about a meter to the right of "Mossy But Not Moist". #SD with right hand high and left hand round the out crop, work your way up to the ledge and mantleshelf to gain finish.

(27.822112, 85.26675) V5+ at mountainproject, 7A at 27crags. Crimps, a jug, a sloper and a pinch culminating in a big move up over a roof. Top out is over the roof but it just might turn into an entire pitch climb in the future. Location: Center at the base of the Kakani wall.

#SD under the lip with a right hand crimp. Move up to a shelf and keep moving to the second shelf and finally the top out. LOcation: Head down the winding trail from the Kakani main wall passing a few small boulders until a clearing with an obviously cleaned face on the left.

Boulder just before Namche helipad. Have fun squeezing and squirming.

Finish by grabbing the lip at the right block (when facing the boulder) 4m up, but avoid pulling yourself past the lip and topping out which would damage the lichen.

Slightly tricky to get established, and a nice little topout. Downclimb after climbing as there is a stone fence just above the top out.

Boulder just after Namche helipad, below a building

Boulder outside Shomare, 75m from lodge. Good landing.

Start from chest height on sharp crimp and sloper crimp. Get established, then powerful move to 2 decent holds at head height. Continue up and topout (arete is on).

You can downclimb the backside at V0

A huge block standing alone on a sunny terrace, with views down to the Gokyo village and the blue lake. Perfect for a warmup with good views. Heel Hook to top out

A rather small but funny boulder just next to the huts in the Gokyo Village entrance trail.

Short but sweet boulder next to the Porters lodge. Good for some movement in-between treks

A block near the volleyball court at the basecamp of Annapurna. A nice overhanging crimpy block.

Stand start on the right edge and mantle out.

#SD on the right edge.

Mossy slabby highball along the edge.

#SD on the left of the edge.

Straight up the flat orange face. Easier than it looks.

Sit start next to the small stream and climb the immaculate arete.

Left of the Yak Cheese factory. Get ready to attract an audience of locals! Stand start the big “Buddha” (as a local stated) compressing the big bulge.

The bomber granite face- back and left 50m’s from the Yak Cheese Factory. A tricky crux start, into dynamic climbing.

Sit start the left arete. 5m’s left of the main trail

Sit start the right arete. 2m’s right of Rishi

Sit start the left arete - on the bloc to the left of “Rishi”

Compress the stunning arete feature. Start in a low sit start.

Start start the striking arete. Channel your inner monk- to zen compress it - to a high and wild top. Needs pads*

Found 30m’s behind “Beyond Infinity”. Stand start the nice overhang, with the arete on the left and figure out a way up. Sit start possible one day- but hard hard.

Stand start with thin RH and LH slopey hold. Some big moves to slopey holds define this one. The ledge on the left is out

Big obvious boulder next to large natural whirlpool in the river.

Climb the low angled slab on the left of the boulder. Reach up and left for some good hand holds or try to go no hands for added difficulty.
