Eagle's Nest Boulder Field
Routes
| Name | Grade ↑ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| The East Enders | V5 | ⭐ | Start sitting in the alcove on a right facing rail, find a cool kneebar, and then awkwardly traverse left to top out. |
| The Ultimate Dad | V5 | - | This climb is on the same Boulder as The Ultimate Chad and right of Scratching Post Direct. Downclimb is a bit sketchy so only top if you’re confident with down-climbs. The down-climb involves jumping onto the sister Boulder. |
| The rock giveth | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start on your choice of low crimps
4 feet right of the arête. Climb up the face and arête. |
| Tigerlily | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start at the base of the obvious left facing corner and climb straight up. Likely harder if you are short. A broken foothold has made the problem considerably easier than the original V8. |
| Trench Warfare | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start as for November, but move directly up and right to a sharp crimp then straight up to the juggy lip. Top out straight up
on the slab using small crimps. |
| Tsunami | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start with a sharp crimp in the corner and the arête. Climb up and right. |
| Twisted by Design | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | (aka Fluff Boy) Sit start on the obvious good crimp below the arête. Pull up with difficulty and climb the arête to the top. |
| Uphill Battle | V5 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start matched on the lowest of the quartz edges. Short but powerful. |
