Routes
| Name | Grade ↓ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dengue | V6 | ⭐ | Sit start under the low roof, right hand on the lip, left hand on a crimp underneath. Climb left and up the slab. |
| Gatineau Special | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start under the roof on the large undercling. Climb straight out using sloping edges and finish up the centre of the slab. |
| La Soufriere Stand | V6 | ⭐ | |
| Sword in the Stone | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Start on low underclings to the right of Sahara. Climb straight up through the sharp crimp under the bulge. Loses a grade and a
star if you use the handholds on Sahara. |
| The High Road | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start as for November, but instead of going for the jug and topping out, traverse along the lip all the way to the left side of
the boulder. The large seam 1ft back from the lip is not in. |
| Wolf in Sheep's Clothing | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start in the cave, matched on the lowest flat rail below the blocky jug. Climb up and out of the cave. The crux is not dabbing on the rock behind you. Grade is height dependent. |
| Wolf in Sheep's Clothing | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start in the cave matched on the lowest flat rail below the blocky jug. Climb up and out of the cave. The crux is not dabbing on the rock behind you. |
| Zeus | V6 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Start as for Ursa Major but traverse right to top out as Hercules. |
| Apogee | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start right of Orbital Insertion with your left hand on the sloping lip and right hand on a side pull edge. Make a couple of hard
moves up the blunt arête. |
| Palpable Tension | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | (aka Ken's Super Slab) Climb up the slab using the sweet left facing corner. There are a couple of ways to start, but if you want
to do it in the style of the first ascent: start right hand on the high sloping side pull, right foot in the obvious notch at the lip and left hand pressed on the slab. |
| Perigee | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start as for Orbital Insertion, but climb straight up onto the slab, eliminating the arête on the left as you top out. |
| Pulp Friction | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start matched on the large sloping ledge and figure out how to climb up. |
| Resurrection | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Squat start in the cave with right hand on a good undercling and left hand with a side pull around the corner. Emerge from the cave and climb up the face. The stand start goes at around V2. |
| Siege Tactics | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Climb up the face and shallow corner. |
| Tales of the Purple Platypus | V5 | ⭐ | Start on the left side of the face, on crimps below the ledge. Move up to the ledge and top out. Several variations exist that traverse right eliminating the ledge. A sit start on the low diagonal rail down and left goes at about V8. |
