Routes in Lake Catani for selected grade

Usually needs a brush. Start across the snowgrass from Paradox.

1. Up dyke past 3 BRs.

Don't bother.

1. 25m. Up Arachnophobia to a ledge at 5m, then up R on dyke and traverse past Schiaparelli to belay below a crack.

2. 25m. Keep traversing

Not bad. Starts perhaps 10-15m right of Dhalgren where a boulder leans against the main wall, immediately below a thin seam/crack. Take a handfull of RPs or similar small wires to protect the seam. Bridge off the boulder to gain the seam, then climb this (not as hard as it looks from below) and continue up the left side of the summit roof/flake.

Step across the gap (preferably clipping a BR first), then traverse left. Clip another BR before climbing around the nose and then up.

This is a traverse around the outside of the Lake Catani Shelter. Begin by standing inside the hut and the problem commences as you step directly out onto the rock façade of the building in the left direction. Continue around all walls of the building until you return to the door and can finally step back inside onto the ground. Whilst not technically that difficult it is an epic endurance problem with many pinch grips. Use of the wooden eaves is forbidden and you cannot sit on the window ledges for rest. Link up with a second loop of the hut by traversing the doorway and beginning the problem again.
