Routen in The Congo

Start at entrance to The Corridor. Balancy and technical arete climbing on nice solid edges.

Start 4m R of Satisfice. Long varied pitch on nice green rock. Seeps badly when wet.

Just R of entrance to Escape Alley, below cave. Up to ramp and high FH, then R across tricky slab. Then follow gear and jugs. Traverse L (FH) then up leaning crack to ledge. Finish up short headwall to DBB in cave.

Start as for Midnight Monkey. Move L to bowl and up delicate face.

5m R of RTN. Tricky start to easier ground leads to a crimpy finale at last bolt.

Start as for MOAS - about 25m uphill from AF at large flake with fist sized crack. Up flake for 8m to sloping ledge and FH. Balancy moves past this to 2nd FH and corner. Up this and R to stance. R for 2m then up excellent orange rock to optional belay or go L to chains.

1. (25m 20) As for FOTW, move L after cam placement, through rooflet to ledge, up L facing corner to chains.

2. (42m 23) L for 4m (cams) til possible to move up and clip FH. Over ledge and up steep wall past 2 FH to awkward rest below overlap (gear). Exit on L past FH to gain easier wall above. Move R then up slab to large ledge.

3. (25m 18) Up obvious crack a few metres R of large detached block to ledge, then R to large ledge with tree. Up featured corner to perfect crack below cave.

4. (8m 22) Up 45 degree wall past 3 FH then slightly R up slab to natural belay.

5. (20m 12) move diagonally L below scrub toward L side of large block. Finish up last few metres of AF.

Variant 2nd pitch for MOAS. Climb direct above belay past 2 FH then to ledge passing a wire. Up and L to corner, then L onto tooth. Traverse around to the front, pass a horizontal break and up on easier ground to natural belay on ledge.

Up past 2 scoops to slab, up this then blast headwall on immaculate red streak.

Start as for RD and break L at 5th bolt. Up subtle weakness to ledge. Blast mega steep territory to anchor. Swing left to get down on a 60m rope.

Start 15m L of AF at dead log. Steep start, then up past the bowl. Hop in for a quick rest, then out R and up some varied climbing to and exciting dynamic crux to bowl at the top.
