Introduction

Unfortunately a big house has been built above the boulders, and they are now in someone's back yard. Looks like they are lost to climbing forever now. The guide is kept here for historical reference.

No Entry

V1(SDS)

Move up from the black cave via jugs to the top. Eliminate the big holds to make it more interesting

2.

Unnamed

V6?(SDS)

Project - Sit start at flakes in the middle of the back of the cave, out to underclings on lip and up middle of face.

3.

Gordon

★★V3/4(SDS)

Sit start with your hands on the good hold at the lip on the right of the face and dyno up to the jug and then mantle. You could probably start it further in, but it doesn't climb that well.

4.

Bong On

★V4/5(SDS)

Do the first moves on Gordon and then traverse leftwards from the jug along the horizontal break without using the top of the boulder (or the big jugs at the left end), then finish up the left hand side of the face on slopes.

5.

Unnamed

V?(SDS)

Arete just right of Gordon, avoiding the holds on the problems to the left and right.

6.

Trash

V2

Sit start at the right hand edge of the overhang. Up to a sidepull then up and left to topout.

7.

Unnamed

V5

Start as for Trash, then traverse leftwards along the lip to the starting hold on Gordon. Either finish upwards (easier) or as for Bong On (harder).
