Translates as ”Finishing touch”

ティンバーヤード　（初段)

The Japanese Grade is Shodan (初段)

A contender for Kasama's hardest mantle? Climb the sloping arete. It's okay to use the rock at the bottom to get established on this problem. Name means 'sword that cuts iron'.

Start standing on the rock on the ground, with LH on the undercling pinch, RH on the sloping lip. For the full experience avoid the dyke on the left on Simple Fighter at the top.

The sit start to Emotion.

Smear up the right hand side of the arête and mantle onto the top.

Climb up the slab slightly left of centre, passing two minuscule crimps. Finish at the top of the boulder, i.e. don't bail to the left arête.

Start on the jugs and use intermediary holds to finish leftwards above the lip of Hip Mantle. The crack of Fist Crack is out.

A long lip traverse. Start at the far left and get established on the lip. Traverse rightwards until the very end (i.e. the top out of SD (5 kyū)) then top out. Name means 'sea of trees'.

Extension of Sailor Moon

Start deep inside the cave and climb the roof section and top out.

Straight up from the roof base and go through the middle roof line

Traverse using only the slopers of the boulder; mantle at the end.

The most famous route! Start with a toe hook and climb the left/middle part of the rock.

Similar to Attack of Chockstone this route uses the right/middle part of the rock.

Same starting hold as Awamori Zanpa & Goya Chanpuru.

Climb through the right side of the prominent roof.

Newly bolted with wave bolts. Crux is up high on the blank face. Slightly dirty at the moment but just needs people to climb on it.

Start deep in the rock on the obvious jug and traverse under the rock until the goal.

Crimpy

Start from a low jug inside the cave. Hug both sides of the stone without using any intermediate holds in between. During high sand level the starting position is awkward but the route is still climbable.

steep Face Climbing on small sharp crimps

Boulder crux(V8-9).

8а if you completely eliminate arête on the left and climb on the face without crossing over to neighboring 7a.

Starts just right of Gnyozda, near the right end of the imposing roof.

P1: 6a+ 30m, 14 bolts. Access pitch P2: Climb the face and traverse right to the slab to avoid the roof. 7c+, 20m, 14 bolts.

Shares most sections with "Moroza Route"

As a big flake broke off, Ao to 3rd bolt

share start with Yellow Rain.

share anchor with Volkers Eistraum.

Extension of 'Dream Catcher'

share start with Welcome to the Jungle.

8a in 2014 guidebook but subsequently downgraded to 7c+ in December update and to 7c/+ in 2018 update.

Bolted by Uli Weidner in 2019. Very nice technical vertical and slab climbing. Share anchor with Double Check

Share anchor with Red Ants.

Awesome restful journey up to an even more awesome not so restfull headwall. If the crux holds feel like sharks teeth just take a few rest days for gods sakes , then they feel fine. Was originally an 8a then a harder ,longer, and better variant (keep on smiling) was given the same grade, and slash grades dont cut it so 7c+ it is.

Gear : 1 set of micronuts, 2 sets of nuts, 2 sets of Aliens/TCUs, 1 set of Cams, 3 Knifeblades, 2 Lost Arrows, 2 hooks, cheater stick, 60m ropes

Start low on the arete slopper. can use the left side crack to step

Sit start on two sharp crimps then a one move wonder to the slopper. Use the foot hold left side

This route was named based on a 16th century novel in china- Journey to the West, a main charater called Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King. In the novel, he is a monkey born from a stone who acquires supernatural powers through Taoist practices. After rebelling against heaven and being imprisoned under a mountain by the Buddha, he later accompanies the monk Xuanzang on a journey to retrieve Buddhist sutras from India. And the name "Sun" was changed to "Soon" as suggested by a pioneer Penang climber to appreciate Soon’s efforts who have contributed, setup and bolted the additional new routes in Jesselton’s wall and included the hardest and the first ever 8a grade route(arguable) in Penang. (Remarks : For Png climber : 8a with limited hand & foot hold access which marked in white color paint)

Each person, at some stage in their life, has had a dream or fantasy of doing or becoming something. To climb a 8a route sound impossible and hard to imagine for me ever since I started climbing. However, until I setup and bolted this new route. Everything seems possible and reasonably doable. It was my mind holding me back all this while. So, let’s live our dream today and "I'm-Possible !" - Soon.

(Remarks : For Png climber : 8a with limited hand&foot hold access which marked in white color paint.)

1st clip need to use stick clip and starting point is very hard boulder move.

1st pitch: 8 bolts ; 2nd pitch, 3 bolts excluding anchors. Can be climbed as a single pitch, tie a knot at the end of the rope.

Climb Canale Grande till 5th bolt and head left.

Shares Starting bolt with "Broken Wings" and "A Smile". Uses the leftmost boltline. Finish is between the start of "Rodeo Jitam" and "Holy Thundering Meteorite - Batman!".

Gymnastic Roof Climbing leads to the crux towards the end.

Variation of "Cicak" with a roof start. It is recommended to switch Ropes Once on the main wall due to rope drag

Starts at the left hand side of a small cave then traverses left over to some pockets and holds. Then do the dyno and continue up the face/tufas to the anchor. Grade suggestion >7c

The steep wall left of Hana (Flower). The project is still awaiting an FA.

Technical, fingery and very sustained. Direct up the arête is 8a

The steep wall just left of Osama. Joins Osama briefly at third bolt before stepping back left to an independent finish. DBB and lower off. Awaiting a direct ascent.

Tricky crux around the 10th bolt.

Climb Destruction to its 10th bolt before stepping R and powering up 'till the route meets with Slayer. Climb through the steep traverse going L towards the obvious stalactite. Keep going L past the stalactite to finish onto the grey prow. There's a small move R then up L to the anchors. The slightly easier variation to the route is to start on Slayer instead of Destruction.

The steep wall R of DBPP to join NIR. The start is a V8 Boulder into some more pumpy climbing. Currently cannot be climbed due to bamboo kiosk below.

Shares first bolt with Awakening. Power endurance fest.

Starts with an easy line of jugs then runs through a line of small 2-finger crimps that ends on a hard dyno on slopers.
