A compliment to

The Girdle Traverse

, this traverse starts on the right and traverses leftwards.

Traverse left making sure your feet stay withing 18" of the ground.

It starts easy enough, but as the second half of the wall is reached the difficulties increase.

Finish at the finger slot hold at the far left end of the crag.

Climb up the short shallow left facing corner at the far right end of the wall.

Climb the easy wide crack at the far left side of the wall.

Sit start with left hand on the large sidepull.

Make a hard pull off the ground and continue with a couple of hard moves up the steep prow on the right of the groove.

When the better holds are reached at mid-hight continue directly up the wall to the top.

Sit start and pull up into the left slanting shallow groove.   From here follow the groove up until possible to easily exit up the short corner.

Climb up the wide open left facing corner starting up the ramp on the left

Sit start with left hand on the good side pull.   Pull on and launch straight up the overhanging wall.

At the break at mid hight pause and commit to the crux moves up the bulge to the finishing holds.

Great movement.

Climb the right slanting groove until the large step and then  finish up the corner.

Start to the left of the blunt prow, and climb up to reach the left running groove.

Pull into the groove and finish direct.

Start to the right of the left facing corner.  Climb up the slabby wall until small a break and then continue directly up the steep headwall above.

Start with hands on the good notch on the arete.  Climb directly up the arete via a couple of long reaches, and finish direct over easier ground.

Climb the slabby face directly using good pockets and edges.

Sit start.   Pull up and follow the shallow right leaning groove.

Finish directly up the vertical wall above.

Climb the curving crack up to a blocky finish.

Sit start facing the corner.

Make some awkward moves to gain the good sidepulls up and left.   Follow the crack and then finish direct on the small head wall.

Sit start thgen climb up the overhanging corner via of cracks, pockets and sidepulls.

Climb directly up the middle of the light colored face.

Step right into the corner and climb the corner using good cracks.

Climb the blunt arete to mid height, and then step onto the ramp and reach up to finish direct.

Climb the prominent right facing corner in the middle of the wall.

Sit start then head right up the slanting crack, before moving straight up to finish.

Sit start on the left of the overhung corner.

Climb up the wall and through the overhang on positive holds.

Good climbing.

Climb up the wide open left facing corner starting up the ramp on the right

Start of the left facing corner.    At the overhang, make a fun traverse left following the undercling.   At the end of the traverse overhang pull around it and finish directly.

Sit start and make a delicate series of long reaches to a good break.

From the break finish steeply up the wall above.

Sit start as per

Problem 05

.  Instead of moving right into the corner make a powerful sequence of moves directly up the overhanging wall (avoiding all the large holds in the crack on the right).   The crux involves a powerful move from a small hold for the right hand located to the left of the large holds in the crack, up to better holds for the left.

Once at the better holds continue directly up the bulge above (again avoiding any holds in the crack).

Sit start and climb the blunt arete, passing an obvious undercling.

Start on the far left section of the wall and traverse rightwards.

It gets a little tricky passing the

Problem 18

section, but soon eases.

The finish brings out into the sunshine and is a good warm down.

This eliminate start adds some more difficulty to the best problem on the wall.

Sit start with right hand on the good hold and pull hard and reach far with the left to the small holds at the break - missing all the side-pulls in between.

Finish as

Problem 18

.

An eliminate.

SIt start and climb the wall with a long reach from a small slot for the right hand.   Finish easily above.

The large holds on the left and the crack on the right are off.

Climb directly up the rounded nose on small but very positive holds.

Sit start to the right of the overhung corner.

Pull up and passed a painful upsidedown pocket.  Once passed the pocket hold the climbing soon eases.

Climb up the broken crack system in the left facing corner.

Sit start, pull onto the sloping shallow crack and follow it up to the horizontal.

From here, climb the short steep wall above.

Sit start on the broad bench.   Climb up the rounded nose to gain a small hold for the left hand.   From here finish up directly above.

Balance and technique help a lot on this problem.

Start on the left of the blunt arete.   Climb up the wall to the left sloping edge and follow this with some delicate moves to the top.

Climb the left facing corner in the middle of the wall.   A mid height as the corner steepens move right then up.

Sit start in the middle of the wall, right of the arete.   Make a long move up to the break and then another good move up to the undercling.   Pull left around the overhang and up to the top.

Standing start with hands in the large slot in the middle of the wall.   From here pull up and finish direct.

This eliminate takes a fingery line up the smooth wall between

Problem 13

and

Problem 14

without using any of the holds on these problems.

Sit start with an awkward move to gain the good finger jug in the middle of the smooth wall.  From this hold move directly up to the break and finish more easily above.

Climb the blocky crack to the bush, then over and up.

Sit start with hand on good holds.  Make a stiff move to gain a good hold for the right and then up to a crimp for the left.   Crimp passed a couple more small holds and then continue direct to the top of better holds.

The start can be made a grade harder by missing the first right sidepull.

Climb the crack to the right of the corner to the bush, then direct to the top.
