North-East Slabs 암벽등반 17 루트들 에서의 지역

Located to the far north-east of the hillock, facing the Raogodlu hillock. A ribbon of slab extending north-south, facing east, for about 260 odd meters. In sections steep, and in sections gentler slab. These slabs are directly below the Temple Parking lot to the east.

As with the next section of Drive-by, abutting the tractor trail that connects between the villages to the north (Ravugodlu/Nettigere/Gundanjaneya Gudi) and the Bettahalli Kaval located immediately to the east of Mutturayaswami Betta.

Two other areas about this section, and both can also be reached using the same access options as below. The high boulders along the North-West trail section, are located along the trail that leads up to the slabs, to the right. The Drive-By area is located at the base of the slabs to the east.

The Berlin Wall or the North-West Wall can be accessed by hiking around to the right or the west. But this is a significant effort to reach the Berlin wall over the slabs or through that terrain.

The ribbon of slab has multiple sections with its own flavour of climbing potential.

Left of the trail Slab: Sections of this slab have been climbed in various styles by various groups and individuals. In sections the slabs are steep here for about 20-30 feet, and then the angle eases out.

NE Massif: As you walk along the slabs to the south, about 60 odd meters from the trail to the south, the steepest section of the slabs. Extending for about 50 odd meters at the base, and about 20-25 meters long, this section of the slab is in lighter hue than the rest of the slab with least amount of water runnels. This section is more uniformly steeper for about 20 odd meters. This is what is referred to by Shyam Krishnakumar as the North-East Massif. There are seven routes identified here, four of which are bolted for lead, one for top-rope, and two yet to be bolted.

Six-Finger Slabs: Immediately south of this section is a series of short slabs with trees on a ledge above them. About six of them separated by grass and mud filled channels. The sixth one just before the roof is a more imposing slabbish boulder than the previous five. One of the best locations for beginners, as the slabs are short and easy, and the lines are easy to be set up on lead.

The Roof Slab: The roof is self-evident, and for a section of the year has bee hives under it. Extends for about 30-40 meters.

Discovery slabs: As Shyam refers to this long section of the slab south of the roof.
