Routes as boulder in Gunma/Saitama Hokubu

Pull onto the wall at one of a number of possible entry points and climb to the top. Sit start variations also possible.

A cop out that skirts around the crux of Mannan Tarō by using high holds on the left side of the arête.

Climb rightwards round the arête and use a bad right hand hold to climb direct to the top. A sit start is possible but does not increase the grade.

Start as for Hashi-no-shita, but escape to the lip on the left.

A good problem climbs up this wall via small holds.

Perform a needless jump to get established on your choice of starting holds, then climb directly upwards eliminating the jugs on the big flake on the right. A sit start is also possible at 7B.

No need to jump start this one. Climb up rightwards to the big flake then on to the top.

Avoid using the big flake on this one.

Traverse rightwards until it is possible to gain a big hold on the lip. Climb on to the top.

Traverse leftwards until its is possible to latch the jug of the previous 3 kyū.

An interesting problem.

Pull up the wall.

A long traverse that starts out at the far right and takes the crack running half height along the wall to the start of the 3 kyū below the big flake, then finishes up that problem.

The rock on the right gets in the way of this problem slightly.

This problem was set starting with both hands palming on the undercut. However starting with one hand on the undercut and one on the lip is probably ok. A low start variation is also possible. Problem name means 'clown'.

Name means 'tooth extraction'.

The crack.

Climb up just right of the crack.

Traverse leftwards to finish up the 3 kyū crack, without using holds on the lip of the boulder.

Extremely soft

Hard

Classic wall climb. One hold broke in late 2018/early 2019. What remains of it also looks unstable.
