Single Cone Guide

Standard descent route off Single Cone. Due to it's aspect it is not uncommon to find snow in the gully, even in Summer. Bolted belays.

There is now an easy scramble down on the ledges ~12m climber's right of the gully that leads to DBA that allows for a single 30m rappel to the bottom of the gully. Useful in shoulder seasons if crossing the iced/snow gully to get to other rap stations is difficult.

A corner left of the gentle slab marks the beginning. This corner trends left and you will have to overcome steeper ground before it eases off. Easy scramble to summit rocks.

5m right of Alpha. First belay is to the right marked by DBA.Next move through the obviosus roof crack. Route finishes up a featured face.

Up slab to DBA. The second pitch begins by climbing a corner and a big flake, where a belay is advised. The third pitch is crux: up the tricky slab, then clip one bolt and climb the roof (3 bolts, 23 or A1/13). Belay after you pull the lip. Run out the next 50m to DBA.

Up the grey slab on the far right of the face underneath a crack system. Easy up a crack to a small belay ledge. Traverse left to bolts and to the summit.

Climb the black corner system to the right of the slab. Up and left to reach the NE Arete and to the summit.

This route is 5m right of Epsilon climbing paralley until joining the North East Arete.

Awesome scramble to the summit. Consider a light rack and a 60m rope.

Short, limited pro, good rock (10m). Obvious crack to small ledge. Climb headwall to a belay on large ledge (45m). Short pitch to the walk off (12m).

Right of blank face. Weakness to belay ledge (55m). Climb blocky ground above belay (10m).

Right of Cavity Search, steeper ground (55m). Same second pitch of Cavity Search (10m).

Climb easy terrain to the right of Hard Act to Follow (50m). Cruisy second pitch (15m).

10m right of Liposuction. Crack systems (45m). Nice pitch, steeper ground (15m).

Climb the right-hand side of the butress in the centre of the face. Two pegs on a ledge to belay (55m). Climb steeper ground off belay via a crack, to the next ledge (15m).

Gently angled slab on right hand side of face (45m). Follow right side of buttress through slabs to a gully of shingle (40m). Climb left to a steeper part, then a slab. Stay right on the slab, join the ridge. (40m).

Great pro. Steep overlap. Great rock.

Obvious rib between South and South West face. Steep for four of the seven.

The left most snow gully.

Pretty great pitch of ice! Lot's of beginners do it as a top rope, and it can be busy.

Has a DBA at the top, so you can rap down with 2 60m ropes.

The ramps just to the right of Touch Down. Shares an anchor with Touch Down

From the top of Touch Down follow the obvious snow ramp to the left until you get to big snow ledge. Wander right and then straight up to the top. Apparently most of the route was soloed on the first ascent.

WI3 is only really for the Touch Down slabs. The rest of the climb is mostly steep snow, maybe an Alpine 2.

A great day out with some cool exposure looking down at Wye Creek.

Accessed using rappel stations on the face.

Climbers left of rappel line.

Climbers right of the rappel line.

Ascend right-leaning chimney. DBA at the top.
