Tupameros Area All Trad climbing 11 routes in cliff

A few interesting moves down low.

Start: Starts almost immediately left of where the tourist track swings back right and cuts up through the cliff line. A small tree and stump is at the base. The route is marked with a white square.

1. 18m (22) Up a few metres (crux) on flakes and pockets, step right to the slabby closed orange corner, and up this to a ledge. Traverse 5m right.

2. 25m (18) Follow the stepped line up and left to the top.

The crux pitch is a gem. The rest is very average. Best to skip the first two pitches and walk in via 'Hamster Roof'.

Start: Starts 6m left of the tourist track. The shallow orange corner with a gum tree growing out at 2m.

1. 10m (21) Up the shallow blocky corner to step left.

2. 20m (21) The short diagonal crack which tends left to meet the easier rightward leaning line, and so to a ledge.

3. 15m (21) Crux. Walk 5m left to the large 35 degree overhanging right facing corner. Up this with difficulty, then step right at top onto juggy grey wall and onwards to ledge. Scramble off to the left to exit.

Start: Starts 2m right of the top pitch of 'Firepower', which is 10m left of 'Hamster Roof'.

1. 15m (21) Up the crazily overhanging flake and beyond to the terrace.

2. 15m (21) Wander up right easily.

Starts 5m left of 'Mujahideen' at a left leaning corner.

1. 15m (21) Left and up the corner to the crack and overhang at 5m. Move left on the ledge then up on a good slope to a few steep juggy moves up and right to an inverted V corner and big ledge.

2. 20m (21) Up closed corner, left-ward under the overhang then left and then left and up to join 'Mujahideen' near top of its second pitch. Finish as for that climb.

Start: Starts at the little grey undercut corner a little way left of 'Mujahideen'.

1. 20m (20) Up, then tend left taking the line of least resistance to the big ledge.

2. 10m (20) Crux. Take the twin face cracks on the rightward facing wall (left of the impressive blank corner). Move around left and up to big ledge.

3. 15m (15) Traverse easily left to the prominent line. Up this.

Initialled. Varied and interesting, especially with the direct finish.

Start: Starts about 15-20m left of 'Mujahideen', at an aesthetic rightwards leaning layback crack/groove.

1. 25m (22) 2 bolts plus trad. Up the groove then straight up blocky corner to the bulge (without stepping left onto the nose above the initial groove which was how it was originally climbed, pre bolts). Negotiate the bulge and up a few metres to a ledge. There is a double bolt rap anchor for those not wanting to bother with the significantly easier second half of the climb and the long scramble off.

2. 40m (17?) The major right facing corner starting on ledge. (the top of this pitch is the same as for Tupamaros).

Start: From the terrace below the final section of 'Gunboat Diplomacy' take the prominent overhanging flake which is a five metres right of the last pitch corner pitch of 'Gunboat Diplomacy'. When the flake peters out, move up left to the top.

Un-repeated? Short, smooth and hard.

Start: The right hand hanging corner from the terrace above 'Gunboat Diplomacy' and 20m left of 'Guinea Pig Flake'.

Another trademark HB roof climb. Shitty looking rock but climbs well.

Start: The flaky roof on the right side of the terrace immediately above Gunboat Diplomacy's first pitch.
