Masson Lees - Overhanging Wall

1. Grand Theft Auto (7a) ** the prominent groove line finishing via the easier wall above. Another fine route with unusual bridging moves.

2. Woof Justice (7a+) **branches out left via an 'ear' followed by difficult moves to a ledge. Easier above.

3. New Start (7b) a desperate sequence involving a long reach to gain the start of Woof Justice from slightly to the left.

4. Nice One Masson (7a) *** the impressive overhanging wall to the left starting via a rock scar where a large flake once abode. Super sustained..

5. The Pete Clark Diaries (7a) * a difficult lower wall leads to slightly easier face climbing above.

5a. The Masson Chronicles (7b) ** full on climbing crossing Pete Clark to rejoin it after a very fingery sequence.

6. The Premier Club (7a+) ** Moves right below Handy Borehole and up the intricate wall to finish left out of Handy Borehole and direct up the headwall.

7. Handy Borehole (6c+) ** another fine pitch branching off right to climb the fingery wall above the borehole.

8. Quatrieme Quartier (7a) ** Another fine sustained pitch direct up the wall from the last route.

9. Second Class Citizen (6c+) ** sustained and fingery face climbing straight up the flat orange-tinged face to an awkward finally. Often suffers seepage at the top.

10. Pierluigi Galena (7a) * the unusual-looking galena ridden groove line. Excellent, sustained climbing.

11. Bison Fute (7a+) * the blunt rib on the edge of the crackline with a series of extending moves. High in the grade. Very fingery..

12. Exo6 (7a+) ** another fine sustained and fingery route straight up the orange wall.

13. Exorcised (7b) ** excellent but very fingery face climbing via the centre of the orange streak. Sustained.

14. Eye, Eye (6b+) ** a superb pitch via a series of calcite encrusted pockets on the overhanging wall. Pure magic and the warm up for this wall.

15. Pocket Rocket (6c) ** excellent pocket and edge pulling to the left via a left-facing flake. Steep.

16. In the Pocket (6c+) * the wall on another series of good holds to a steep and reachy finale.

17. Java Script (7a+) the arete. Hard moves to transfer onto the right-hand side and a long reach higher up.

Reactn (6b+) Short groove and wall around to left. Surprisingly worthwhile
