线路 in Senapathi

15 meters if standing from the ledge. Else, 30 meters.

Four bolts including the first bolt of Hurting Toes, Family Woes.

Reaching the first bolt maybe slightly heady.

Watch for the big flake after the first bolt. The flake will come off one of these days.

If rapping all the way down, a 60-meter rope might fall short by a meter or two on the easy slab.

FA, Nandini K. Mehta.

Extremely flaky.

Heady route with spaced out bolts.

FA, Latha BN

Shares the anchor bolts with Life Begins at 40.

First bolt is at a shorter distance than all other routes here.

Bolted in Feb 2016.

FA, Seema Pai

Trad-line starts on a diagonal seam, that is probably 5.8ish, and after 15-20 feet, the route continues straight, retaining the grade under 5.4-5.5, with sparse protection.

No top anchors. Walk off.

Hard to know what the original line was. Too many options after the diagonal seam.

FA, Gokul G. and Seema Pai

An old classic. Older 7mm bolts.

Watch out for the flake after the second or third bolt that has withstood the test of time and many climbs but threatens to come off at some time.

FA, Nagi.

Trad-line Put up in 1985 by Blade Ashok and Pai.

There is no clear information on where this starts and ends, as is the nature of these old school trad lines on slabs.

Shared anchor with You Kan.

Older 7 mm bolts. First bolt, 20-25 feet from base.

FA, Dini

Put up in 1983/84 by Mico Ramesh via the chimney crack.

Either a variation or the original route was last climbed by Gujju and Suma during the Romp 2016. No top anchors. Walk off.

Older 7 mm bolts.

Named in memory of Kanhai Dutta, Delhi based rock climber who was one of the first ascensionist of Deepawali route on Savandurga. FFA: Dini.

Starts on a cleared patch on the left of the rightmost chimney. Bolted in 2023 with new fixe bolts.

Single anchor station has 2 maillons for bailing in rain.

Route is very flaky as it has not seen much traffic. Generously bolted, but weaves around some ledges and formations, giving the route a lot of variation compared to the other routes in the area. The anchor station is above a diagonal ledge.

The 2nd pitch is unbolted and is a 5.4/5.5 scramble.

A tree can be used to stabilize the belayer to bring up the follower.

To exit, top out among the boulders on top, which will lead to gentle slabs.

First bolt is shared with Ironman.

Starts at the first bolt of the right-side route, Ironman, and after six more bolts, shares the anchors of the Iron Man .

Goes left of the big bucket.

Feb 2016. FA, Seema Pai.

Goes right of the big bucket

Jan 2016. FA, Seema Pai.

18-20 meters, if done from the ledge or 30 meters from the ground.

Shared anchor with Black Black Gully, Starts after the big bucket.

First bolt 40 feet from base. Feels harder than a 5.9, especially the transition from the first to second bolt, probably that the route character has changed since first climbed, or this is an old-school grade.

Feels harder than the Black Gulley. FA, Joshua.

15 meters if done starting from the ledge, else, 30 meters from the base.

A short classic line, that runs in the gulley, requires some technical moves, including stemming and mantling, and side pulls, and one that stands apart from all the slab moves on rest of the climbs here at Senapathy.

Anchor shared with Snakeskin. FA, Shyam aka Krishnan Narayanan

15 meters if starting from the ledge, else 30 meters from the base.
