루트들 Kachoong Area에서

A good approach to 'The Golden Echo'.

Start: Start as for 'A Taste of Honey' Direct Start.

A great individual pitch or an approach to one of the other climbs.

Up wall to first horizontal break and traverse spectacularly left to arete and up.

Start as for 'Capilano' and continue up wall with long reaches to major horizontal. Don't escape left but keep going up for a few more moves until it eases.

A better direct.

Go straight up from start of Dr Paul.

The obvious wide line through the roofs above the ledge.

This was the original route but has moprhed into a variant.

Interesting climbing through some exciting territory.

A scary direct start to Golden Echo. Looks worthless but in fact has a fascinating crux section.

Links the initial wall of Kachoong into the top of Golden Echo RHV via an exciting traverse left at the roof of Kachoong. Bring a #3 camalot for the traverse. For full value, start at the the steep crack/bulge that leads up the the belay ledge of Kachoong.

Line in between Sounds Like and Kachoong, start directly below where Kachoong is typically started, easiest to rap in from the bolts that get you to the photographer spot. Directly up the orange wall merging with Golden Echo at the left hand end of the Kachoong roof. The wall takes small medium cams, RP's and small wires. Make sure you build a good nest of gear about 4 meters before the roof, then make thin moves to the roof. Bigger gear required from the roof to the top, 0.5 to 3 Camalot.

Up on jugs to rest at roof, place bomber cams and then launch out into glory across the roof into the crux at the lip. Easy up headwall to welcome belay

Start: Start at the ledge below the big roof with the chalked flakes.

The original line through the roof took the little hanging corner on the right. This is worthwhile in its own right.

Climb to the roof (crux) and then escape out right and up easy wall.

Poorly protected start. Douglas doesn't mind at all if someone puts 2 bolts in the start.

Start: Start about 2m R of 'Kachoong'.

Start just left of Max and go up and slightly further left up overhanging wall. When angle eases, head up to final roof crack.

Lovely short crack on the left side of the 'Hurts' Wall.

Slightly contrived face climbing between Max and 'Moritz'.

Crack 3 metres right of Max is also quite good.

Loads of steep traversing.

Start L of Hurts and climb up to join Hurts where it steps L.

Good, pumpy wall.

Start for Hurts and at the obvious big block traverse int In Phase and finish up that route

Very good and very strenuous.

Avoids the annoying start of Cyclic and makes it into a worthwhile route, unless you are a grumpy old guidebook editor who thinks it ruins the integrity of the existing line. Up In Phase to the finger lock then step right into main line of Cyclic.

Slight corner 4 metres right of 'In Phase' then traverse 3-4 metres left, over roof and up crack.

Looks awful.

Not the best part of town.

Start: Takes clean convex wall about 30m right of 'Hurts' Wall.

Nice little wall climb. Faces the same way as 'Hurts', Max and 'Moritz' but just one level below them. Appears to be a repeat of A Taste of Bin Laden.

Start: From 'Hurts', go out and drop down through the gap that leads down to Golden Echo DS and Taste of Honey. As you emerge from this chimney there is a face on the right which is undercut on its left side. Start on the right edge of the undercut.

Start: The Right of the 'Taliban Airways' wall. Appears to be the same as Constance Little.

There are too many aretes in these route descriptions for the available cliff! Given the absence of any thin grey walls right of either arete, I am wondering if this is the thin grey wall left of the arete of CL's wall. It didn't have enough gear to inspire me to check out the grade. Or it may be squished in between Haiku Climbing was Super and CL.

Start: Right of the arete is a thin wall. ?????

The original name was:

climbing was super

on long steep juggy arete

loose jug in my hand

Start: The steep left arete of the 'Taliban Airways' wall.

(Flying into 'New York', twice daily). A good way to get up to the start of 'Kachoong' warm.

Even when after climbing here with the first ascentionist, we're not sure where these routes are!

Underneath the start of 'Kachoong' is a wall which the track skirts. Unless this is also squished in with Constance Little, it appears to be the line on the next short wall heading directly to the belay for Kachoong. Felt a little more like 15 though.

Beneath Kachoong, R of ATOHDS. Up rib then corner to the belay for Kachoong.
