The
South Wall 2.
Clear Head and A Blow Lamp E3 6a
Sustained but well protected crack with 3PRs. 3.
Unnamed (7b) *
Fingery direct line up the wall just to the right. A few suspect holds have been
suggested. 4. Mother
of Pearl (7a+) **
Immaculate face climbing on the centre of the wall with a particularly fingery
crux. PRs, 2BRs. 5.
Two For Tuesday E4 6a Thin,
scruffy crack on right-hand side of wall. 6. The World is my Lobster E4 6a The vague arete of the next compact wall to the right. 7.
Propaganda (7a) ***
The best route on the wall taking the first bolted line to the right. Sustained,
fingery but not too technical. 8.
Science Friction (7b) **
The right-hand of the two lines. Similar in many ways but with a nasty start.
It then maintains the interest to the top. 9.
La Rage (7b) **
A superb pitch incorporating the hardest moves on the wall. Sustained but easier
above. 10. Innuendo
(7a+) * The final
route of the wall often suffers the dreaded seepage. Excellent when dry but warrants
recleaning and regearing beforehand. The walls to the right contain a couple of filler-in style routes with BRs for protection. Zoo Time and Instead of This are both graded 6a. |
Arete Buttress: Clearly visible opposite the entrance to the quarry, this face offers an arrayof worthwhile routes in the middle extreme grade range. Whilst all the routes are yet to be fully equipped, the pitches are generally very clean and worthwhile. 1.
Hot Beef Injection (6c) *
fine, intricate, face climbing. Unusually delicate for sandstone. |
