Routes in Pacific Ranges for selected grade

This route climbs the south side of the westernmost buttress of Combatant. According to Don Serl, a "pristine and challenging line"

Climbs the easternmost of the three major south buttresses of Combatant above the col. Approached via a bench at the elevation of the col (the Shelf)

Rising from Sunny Knob straight to the summit of Serra 2, this is one of the classics of the range. Rising over and around several towers on the ridge, with difficulties to 5.9, this route is highly recommended.

Parties usually take 1-3 days to climb and descend.

Climb the black, lichen-covered depression in the south face, following corner systems to the east ridge, then to the summit.

Climb the obvious crack.

Starts directly in front of the approach trail.

P1. 5.7 15m 6 bolts. Climb the cracks and bulges to the ledge. P2. 5.9 26m, 11 bolts. Pull the initial bulge from the anchor (crux) then up easier ground above to the top.

Top-out for a nice flat peak with gorgeous views.

Climb rounded bulges.

Climb the not-so-steep face right of "Pissed Off" at the top of the gravel slope.

Better to use "Log pitch fields" on the main climb than create seperate climbs for each pitch.

Great lil 2 pitches to grab a nice view. first pitch is a great 5.9

To log just P1, go to the main climb description and click no "log pitch fields", then delete the other pitch(es).

Climb up along a broken left-facing corner feature.

Yet another left-facing corner feature -- this one has a distinct roof about 2/3 of the way up.

Next bolt-line right of "In Your Face". Probably about 5.9.

Face climb along the corner of the boulder. Small ledges up and a layback to finish.

Follow the various ledges straight up to the anchors.

A short set of ledges near the bottom lead to a slabby climb around the corner.

Great lil multi-pitch with a good hike for a approach so you will probably be alone. Really nice 5.9 traverse crux on second pitch. And the 5.8 crux is fun and can be made into more of a 10.a move if you go left.

Pitch 1: 3 bolts, 5.7 Pitch 2: 5 bolts, 5.9 Low angle route where the trail meets the crag

Climb up the ramp out of the gorge, staying along the arete. Nice climbing with beautiful views.

P1. 5.7 20m, 4 bolts

P2. 5.7 45m, 8 bolts (don't stop at the first anchor -- this is just an intermediate rap station)

P3. 5.9 20m, 4 bolts

Pitch 3 Variation: 5.10c climbs to the left, around the corner, to the same upper belay location.

NOTE: The trail from the car park IS the way to go as per the update on Quickdraw Publications. Its is a well maintained trail with just a shitty move on scree slope but totally safe, much quicker than walking the same distance and then raping. If for whatever mysterious reason you want to rap, the rap station is 5 meter left of the chains from top of start check as per pic below. Can be done in 2 raps with a 70m rope or 3 with a 60m. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD PEOPLE RAP THE ROUTE extremely likely that someone is climbing it and you will be on their way, rock fall possible from the top, and its 4 raps instead of 3 if you chose the rap station

Traverses right of star chek, and Apollo 13. Great position. Each pitch is 18-25m and 5-7 bolts

Up Chimney

Climb the corner crack right of Holiday in Cambodia. Anchor to the trees.

Start up the Y-crack and take the right branch.

Start up the Y-crack and take the left branch.

Climb a very deep right-facing corner to a chimney up high. Good quality and easier than it looks.

Gear to 4" or 5", starts just right of Reacharound

Up the middle of the big flake next to the reacharound

Climb up to a wide crack that pulls through a roof, then joins "Smells Like Fir" to finish.

Finish at the rap station under the roof. Stays dry in the rain

Trad: short, bouldery, technical flake to very thin dihedral.

The rightmost crack among large broken blocks. The crux is squeezing yourself into the crack early on. A 4" and 5", perhaps two, is needed.

Continue up from the top of Kicking Mule.

Trend right around a roof, clamber on top of a large block, then follow a crack to the top. Crack gets wide and you will probably want a 4.

Leftmost splitter hand to fist crack starting on the ledge above It's a New Day and Move On Up. Near the top, as the crack becomes more broken, traverse right and follow a right leaning ramp to the anchor. Protects adequately with a SR to 3, but you could place a 4 in a cruxy wider section around mid height.

Up right facing corner with tricky gear to roof then up hand splitter above

Left leaning hand crack, tricky up high

right most route on the LEFT wall.
