Nodes em The Graveyard Ridge

Single pitch routes along a broken, poor rock face.

1. 18 35m - Up the prominent corner with sparse gear. Belay on ridge. The next 2 pitches go up The Tiger Face Annex.

Start: 4m Left of Norman, in a small, Left facing corner.

Straight up (tricky mantle), to 2nd small tree, then step Left around the arête & onto face. Left up to tree, then follow diagonal crack up to top-out around Bushboy & large tree.

An assortment of small to medium gear. Rap off same tree as for Norman. A poor route over loose rock.

Start: 20m Left of Scarface arete & below a crack with a tree in it about 8-10m up.

Up the crack on the RHS to surmount the unprotected bulge (tricky mantle), then step back Left into the crack & up this to tree. Then follow a series of vegetated corners & cracks, steepening to a small overhanging flake, around this, then up Left when possible to the tree & up 5m to large TB.

An assortment of small to medium gear. A manky affair, not worth repeating.

Start: From TAF, head Left around the corner up a short pillar (4m) to the ledge/alcove above; the route starts in the corner on the Right.

1. 15 40m - Manky corner to start, leading up Right into corner, then follow weakness up Left, to more mank. Make your way up around the overhanging blocks & up to a Bushboy, then right across onto ledge & belay.

2. 10 15m - thread your way up Right through the crumbly, friable rock to the top & TB.

Not worth repeating. I took a fall at the top of the left trending rise & zippered the gear, resulting in a piece falling on my face, hence the name was born.

Start 8m Left of TLS.

Take wires and small cams. You can approach the overhang from either side, the crux is after the overhang. Plenty of gear higher up. Re-equipped with RBs in 2020.

Start: In front of the small tree, around the corner, 8m up the slope, L of TDOOW.

Up the smooth over-hanging wall, following 8 RBs to chains.

Start: 2m Left of OTT.

Up blunt the arête. Thin & committing start, up to RB, then #2 cam, then 7 RBs to top. Take #2 cam + small wires. Re-equipped with RBs in 2020.

Start: Between the cliff & the tree, 3m Left of BBTL.

Up slinging the tree, then step off RHS & up to 1st bolt at 7m. Follow the crack all the way to the top, passing another 4 RBs, or climb the last bit of BBTL.

Re-equippedwith RBs in 2020.

Start: 2m Left of GOAS.

Up crack into shallow V groove (2RBs), then left onto face. Up this passing another 9 RBs.

Take big wires and big cams. Try avoiding it early afternoon because you’ll have the sun directly in your eyes.

Re-equipped with RBs in 2020.

Climb the arête just Left of HS.

Take a full rack. Big cams. (1 RB, 5 carrots)

Start: 10m Left of GAG.

Climb the face with the diagonal cracks to the Right of the wedged-in tree. Then up to the big corner to the top.

All trad up a classic crack-line.

Start: behind the log just Left of OTL, below the RB.

Up to RB, then up as far as you can go, after 9th runner, move Right onto OTL to finish.

Take small cams. (! RB, 12 carrots)

Start: As of 2020, the log one climbed to start the route has collapsed. Climb the thin crack (gear), or take the ridge line on the Right, and head up to the first BR about 10m up, then gear after that.

Take 15 runners min., and a full rack. No big cams. 10 RBs. Re-equipped with RBs in 2020.
