26 | ★★★ Hard Nose DS
Not the original, but even better than Hard Nose. Step out L a little lower than the original to a square cut hold on the arete. Clip the carrot bolt and proceed to wobble up 4m of balancy desperation bringing amazing movement and positions to hand. FFA: John Pearson, 1989 | 25m | |||
V6 | ★ Pils problem
Straight up block below Whistling Kite using both aretes FA: Pil, 2002 | 6m | |||
26 | Future Tense Direct Start
The original start for Future Tense which grants the full 26 points if you're up for it! Take the desperate line 1m to the R of BST which is so thin and under protected that it has never (?) been repeated! FA: Kim Carrigan, 1981 | 40m | |||
West of the access track | |||||
26 | ★★ Self Expression
Truly insane climbing up a desperately thin seam. Wobble and shake and whimper your way up on good RPs, small wires and one crappy piton. Strenuous, technical and classy. This was an awesome and inspiring effort by Kim Carrigan. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1984 | 20m | |||
26 | ★ Sadhana
If your arms are still capable of basic function, this should help to finish them off! The direct finish to GPC features classic climbing up a delicate arete. From where the crack goes R, head straight up the arete past a lone bolt. Run it out to the top. FA: Scott Camps & Kishi Takamori, 1988 | 10m, 1 | |||
26 | ★★ Chook Fear
Bridging, layaways and levitation are all required to get up this imposing, blank corner. At the top, step R to the tree. An Olympic rhythmic gymnast may be able to bridge across to WO; as for normal people, attempting this could destroy more than just your pants! FA: Charlie Creese, 1981 | 20m | |||
26 | ★★ Wild One
A very strenuous outing and an excellent section of flared hand jamming. The start has two options, both hard. You can start up CF for a few moves and then traverse in - possibly easier but less well protected. The direct start up the seam is nails but has good gear. Brilliant sustained climbing sees you to the tree on the ledge. Although Rob Staszewski and Rick McGregor attempted the route in various styles, it was up to Kim Carrigan to free the route by the direct. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1978 | 20m | |||
26 | ★★ Inhibition
Hard and grunty climbing on one of the sexiest looking aretes to be found. Start off the little ledge above WC then slap, crimp and wobble your way up past 3 FH to the top. Avoid the temptation to grovel off L and you will be rewarded with some beautiful exit moves! FA: John Pearson (early's), 1990 | 20m, 3 | |||
26 | ★★ Petulance
Start as for Tantrum. Climb up about 8m and step L onto the arete. Follow the line of bolts to the top featuring gut-wrenching exposure, and quite classy arete climbing. Some parties start up Deliverance instead. FA: Chris Frost | 45m |
