Routes as trad in Iskra Crag

Because it‘s good in the morning? The flake towards the right end of the yellow face. Climb the flake then mantle shelf to gain the corner. Up this to the top.

Start about 1m right of left edge of the yellow wall. Go straight the line of least resistance. Top roped FA.

On the grey face near where the boulders form a cave. Go up the short obvious corner, then walk up the easy slab and onto the right hand edge of the face by which you gain the summit.

Start 4m L of Continuar Sonriendo. Off boulder and straight up face, finishing L of the thin shallow crack.

Start as for House of Cards. Step L and climb the flake leading diagonally L. Jug out to the top.

Start at the obvious cleft at the left end. Bridge up and follow the weakness through to the top.

Start as for Shadow Streak. Go left up the easy ramp and through the overhang to the top.

Start 8m left of Sunlight And Shadow. Up the crack to the overhangs. Step right and follow the black streak to the top.

In the middle of the face at the initials. The obvious line.

Start 3m right of the initials. Up the slab and over the overhang to the orange scoop. Walk left to finish up the regular route.

Start 1m left of This is Not Funny. Move more or less straight up the wall to the top. Possibly under-graded.

As for THIS IS NOT FUNNY VARIANT START. Go right up the jugs to a ledge. Move 2m R then straight up.

Val's First Lead. The obvious narrow chimney on the north facing wall of the cliff.

Prominent nose at the very L end of the crag. Up the face and through the bulge at the top.

The corner line L of the prominent chimney.

The easy corner immediately R of the narrow chimney, moving L at the top for an easy exit.

Most attractive line on the crag - vertical crack / seam 1m R of Coccyx Corner.

The next line 3m R of Bums Rush. Keep in the line at the top.

L of Sunstroke, line of overhangs rise from R to top L. This climb takes the middle of the three breaks in the overhangs. Originally climbed by finishing up the twin shallow corners on the terrace above (add 10m).

Start at the orange and grey rock just L of Sunstroke at the 'cheating stones'. Head diagonally L finishing as for Coccyx Corner.

Roof system with L leading diagonal. Good unlikely moves, follow the line all the way. Finishing easily - or surmount final roof.

At the R end of cliff, R of Sunstroke, straight up to arete, then diagonally L and across the face immediately above lip of the overhang.

Spectacular. The arete, then up and over the square roof.

Small north facing steep wall on terrace opposite Summa's a Bummer. X cracks on left side of wall.

2m right of the west buttress’s left arete.

A few m L of Quantum Sufficit is small black hole in the rock. Start 1m R of this and go straight up to the ledge. Climb the overhang at the arete and up.

Up the corner / arete 3m L of Pigs in Space, to finish up wall just left of that climb.

Start in the middle of the face. Line leading to the L end of the square cut roof and up the corner.

3m R of Pigs in Space. Climb to the RHS of the square roof, and up.

1m R of TRR. Up to the L leaning orange roof, up this to break out R onto the delicate face, then back L.

First pitch is sustained quality at about 16. However, the second pitch is 20+ depending on your height (can be bypassed). Start at the grey arete immediately right of the 'hole' in the cliff. 1) 30m. Straight up to large ledge below overhangs. 2) 10m. Lunge or boulder straight up to jugs on lip of roof and continue to top.

Supposedly this climb is on an outcrop above Pigs in Space buttress, below the main wall (more or less between DD and EP. Takes the obvious corner line.

The short corner then the easy angled corner right of DD. (Could be a repeat of Cheap and Nasty).

“Guarantees not to tax you, but it‘s a bit suss". Back on the main cliff, the large flake / chimney about one third of the way along the wall.

Enjoyable airy climbing. Starts below a crack which runs up to a big roof. 1) 35m. Climb the first overhang directly to the crack and follow it to the overlap. Traverse up L under the overlap to a recessed corner. Up the arete and traverse L under the roof to a small ledge. 2) 10m. Move left and straight up.

Excellent value. Surprisingly easy for such steep rock. Starts as for BBBB. Climb the crack all the way to the big roof, step L and straight up.

Starts from the RH end of the long overlap - scramble up slab to a ledge to start. Move L above the overlap and climb the corner until it breaks up. Move L above roof, and up.

The corner / slab bordering the L side of the sandy overhangs.

Start: 10m R of Dolgoruki Direct on the W facing part of the buttress. Flake crack to scoop, up corner to belay in through-cave. The other side of the cave is on the First Tier ledge, scramble off.

Start at the edge of the rib at the foot of the main buttress. 1) 43m. Ascend the rib to a ledge at 4m, up overhanging chimney then follow the edge of the rib to the obvious overhang. 2) 15m. Climb through the slight break in the overhang (one of those height dependent gradings - you have been warned). Immediately above the lip traverse R for 3m to the rib then continue vertically to a large ledge. 3) 36m. Keeping as close to the edge of the rib as possible, but actually on the R wall, continue on to the summit and glory.

On the lowest tier of the orange wall. Steep flake / crack in the middle of the wall.

The RH crack above, and to the L of Mandela. Good holds on deceptively steep face.

Starts a few m left of WTGAD and climbs the face via the flakes (with care) to the top. Poor rock and pro.

Start behind (now burnt) pine trees at the far L end of the 3rd tier (at the head of a minor gully). Up R to a blunt arete and past a bolt to the top.

The obvious wide, leaning, corner crack.

Starts from the LH end of the main ledge (6m R of the wide crack). Up wall trending L then up to top.

L leading line / corners at the R end of the 3rd Terrace - more or less directly above WTGAD. Can also be more easily approached by climbing the first 2 pitches of DD and up this, rather than traversing off R.

Nothing to write home about, but nice trad / inconsistent crack line just L of roof/cave. Bolts on Pulled Out to start.

Looks totally worthless, but has an intense section of climbing that's much better than it looks. Up easy ramp just L of chimney, awkward moves around roof into thin slanting crack, which is followed to easier ground. Quite independent of KOFTSW until the last 10m or so.

Crack-line in the recess left of Matt's Corner, start easily up into deep chimney. Then short crack "steeping requires a bit of effort, but it is worth it".

Climb the line 5m L of WR (8m L of major chimney / corner line) and about 15m R of the projects on the blank wall. Finish up R.

This is the L curving crack in the orange wall 3m L of the corner / chimney line. Follow the line to the ridge.

Finger / corner crack immediately on the R side of the chimney corner.

Line about 3-4 R of DO. Awkward moves past the two main ledges to a bolt runner higher up.

Starts on the RH end of the block that forms the top half of Septic Crank. Up arete, past a bolt runner to the top.

10m L of BTBB on the same wall. Desperate climbing with spaced pro.

On the East facing block just above and R of SC. Can also be approached from the top of the gully of the 3 Tiers. The slanting crack up the middle of the wall.

Good, but slightly contrived climbing on an independent grey buttress below and N of the Eastern Walls. Up short diagonal crack, then up the nice grey wall, keeping to the L for the best climbing. At the top is a nice surprise mini 2nd pitch (and topping out is a better way to descend).

At undercut rounded northwest arête, on the terrace.
