B2 P1

Bolted by Pranesh about 7 years back. This route is still yet to see a first ascent. The grade is about 7c/+. First route on the left side while going up the temple steps and left of Spanish Chilean traverse. The anchor bolts have maillons.

The actual route name is Macha but is painted as Maach. 4th route, left of Top Tree route when you hike up the stairs to the temple intersection on the left side.There are no maillons at the anchor.

Anchor has one glue in bolt + One hanger bolt with a mylon.

Anchor has one glue in bolt + One hanger bolt with a mylon.

Technical left traversing line, with solid crux. Walking down the gully straight in the direction you entered the temple intersection. On the left hand side after the 7b.

Gather courage to tackle the crimpy crux at the bottom, but also save some energy for second crux between bolt #4 and #5. Pre-clip the first bolt! If start direct of the ground (without stone stack) possibly harder than 7c+

Saraswati right hand route. Ground fall bolting and a dodgy looking first bolt at that. Needs a rebolt.

Take off on the jug, and then the feature that was useful to make moves further broke.

Project.

Starts along a ledge of a crack traversing left, and then the project crux for about six-eight feet of connecting to the upper section, over the roof.

Seems possible to protect with pitons in the upper thin crack. The lower diagonal crack can be protected with hand and smaller cams. Cams only! Or Tricams, maybe.

A finger and hand crack that runs horizontally to the right and then connects through a series of horizontal cracks to the top

Easy to protect, stiff climb

Aided my way up and then attempted to project

Exit: Mid-way through to the right (east), a tree allows you to rap off back to the base. Tree on the west face as well.

Rack: Doubles of #.3 through #.75 and nuts of similar size or below. Preferably off sets.

Anchor: Cracks and tree (Halfway up to the right)

Natural Anchor: Tree

Stiff crimpy first 20 feet and then couple of cuxy sections to the top out.

Rachit Singhvi figured out the moves.

Same top-anchor as Angulimala***

Offwidth crack

The crack starts to the right on the south facing wall, as a hand crack, traverses left and opens up into the crux off-width. Past the offwidth, further short traverse to the left as hand crack and then along a flake and then the heady but easy top- out.

Rack: Upto #4, or #5 (optional).

Anchor: Crack (Finger and hand cracks)

Natural Anchor: Boulder and tree. Long anchor.

FKA, Sohan with support from Amrit Appaden and Karthik Maddineni, Feb 2021

Via the right-side crack, past the crack, the rock has potential for a stiff line.

With the last piece of protection in the crack below.

Top Anchor: Small cams to tricams.

Five to ten meters south-east of Crack Jack sits this high boulder, with a thin crack and features on the south face.

Top-roped by Christopher Diaz in 1992, per Dinesh Kaigonhalli.

Per Aravind Selvam, the line in the center is possible to be freed.

The boulder evidently attempted to be quarried provides for a crack, that runs diagonally. The crack is formed by the outer rock overlapping the inner boulder , starts as a finger crack and widens to fist and half size towards the top.

Mildly overhanging and lacking in footholds, the crack eases up only after the crack turns vertical, and flares wider to allow some foot jams.

Rack: Finger sized cams all the way upto #4 BD Cam-sized pieces.

Top Anchor: Cracks that allow finger sized and hand-sized gear. Best to use tricams to avoid the cams getting bent.

A spectacular line, going over a cave, then next to the striated edge and then the face. Apparently, an incomplete line.

Jeff Jackson, D. Rasmussen & Josh Smith - Supported & guided by Kamalesh & Nick Mckinnon - on the slightly overhanging faces at the southern side of the Farm.

A quartzite dyke intrusion in a boulder, obvious line. Offering edges. Near triangle arete from memory.

Left of Louvre, apparently, a stiffer 5.11ish route that was climbed as a top rope route from the tree that marks the end of the Louvre first pitch.

Philip Coquard & Dominic Danard.(1989)

Start low in the cave on the left, then out through steepness.

Over the left (while looking at it) 'eye' of the boulder.

Start on lower crimps

Start on lower crimps, exit right.

Stand start on obvious crimps, then move up and right on big holds

Stand start on crimps, then take the more direct line up the boulder. Grade to be confirmed.

Sit start

Starting left handhold broken May 2023.

Left exit. Grade TBC

Start on the good holds above the small boulder in the middle of the face. Big move right, up, then back left slightly to mantle.

Grade to be confirmed.

Site start on slippery quartz crimps low on the right. Move left then up

Abseil all the way to the ledge below the old vulture nest (60m from top).

Flake, corner, off width, don't disturb the flying Squirrel, weird slabby chimney, collapse on belay ledge. Climb one of the other pitches to get out.

Take some big gear (possibly multiple #5 cams). Open project, grade is best estimate.

A right option also looks possible by traversing right before the crux, but has not been attempted.

About 22-25 feet highball stand starts from a bottom Jug exits on the slab from overhang which is existing crux right now. Asim is figuring out betas to exit on the slab which is about sustained boulder moves till you reach the overhang. No fall zone starts after you get on the overhang if you have 2-3 pads. 2 Active spotters needed.

Up the left side of the face facing the road.

Sit start low on the rail, then traverse to the right and up over the bulge.

On the left of "Butterfly". Sit start with really powerful moves

A Traverse on the same Oyster Rock. Has a easier version 6B if you start from the middle of the traverse.

Left side pull start with high foot to top out diagonally to rock.

This is the hardest route at the crag. Shares its first 2 clips with "Nose" route which is to its left.

Offwidth

An epic lead by Amrit Appadan supposed by Iniyan Sivaneri bumping up #5 and #6 for a fair distance.
