Routes in Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)

Wall 3m right of Gettin' Hungry, veering slightly left.

Start left of the V4 problem on a good gaston and take a left-trending line past the mono to topout. Has seen an impressive flash ascent by James Litz (US). Originally given V13 by Sharik as the mono didn't exist and he did horrible moves crimping the very edge of the same hold.

Dynoing from the crack directly to the top is 'Forced Entry Direct' (V11)

Sit start on the big juggy hole and climb straight up the wall on a series of jugs to a tricky top out. Top out is not too bad if you suss out the top holds before embarking (try not to get caught on the tree when topping out).

Starts on the chockstone down in the slot. Very pleasant right trending wall climbing with a punchy pumpy finish.

Sit-start onto light overhang connecting odd holds.

The obvious challenge right of 'Fairy Head'. Quite committing. Grade?

Start with LH edge and RH slopey pinch. Traverse 3m right on the horizontal weakness and bust straight up the face on a crimp and chicken heads and an easy mantle. Fantastic line!

Start on the low end of the horizontal flake at the far right of the wall. Climb the rail up to a tricky mantle.

Climb Golden Oldie to the jugs on the arete and keep traversing right on good holds to a juggier, although pumpier, finish. Also quite a committing finish.

Sit start at the base of the leaning arete. Mantle into the scoop and climb straight up on slopers and edges.

Start as for Riding Shotgun and head straight up arete using side pull/underclings then pull onto slab. Done by many this way thinking they were on Riding Shotgun.

Here's some footage of how to do the RH Variant (if you look at the text you'll see they thought they were doing Riding Shotgun V6, whoops! It's easy to make this mistake!).

Francesco

Christopher

Sit-start under the roof and head out to the lip to the obvious pocket on the slab - then mantle to glory.

Sit-start at the base of the black streak matching on a big sloper. A dynamic move leads to the good horizontal, then a long RH lock move and onwards up the crimpy face. Highball and a tad committing above a very bad landing, but absolutely classic. Originally given V6 by coming in from the right using a LH gaston (crux) but most people ignore this due to the proximity of the ground (it's hard to stay off it!)

A slopey left-trending rampline starting in the middle of the Cut & Waste traverse line. Low sit-start then technical.

Sit starts just right of 'Sesame Superhighway' and climbs the series of jugs to a high finish. Descend via the righthand side.

Start right in the back of the cave and head directly out to the lip, and a very slopey mantle topout. Desperate! Good training for 'Circus Jerkus'...

Sitstart at the flake, following it up and reach up to the ledge.

Sit start with a side pull on the large, juggy flake.

Sit start on obvious edge behind old tree. Make a huge move rightt then traverse sloped ledge and head up obvious weakness.

Starts 50m left of the dungeon. Near the access gully. Up very nice layback flakes to anchor.

RH right-trending crack weakness. Starts on the low jugs and climbs up the weakness to a crux move reaching up for a gaston pocket. Was massively overgraded at V5 for a long time.

A direct line starting with a sit/crouch start halfway out along the Fallen Cow traverseline, then climbing through this to join the finish of 'Carlton' Coldie.

"A most impressive crack which has been climbed by a very dubious mean. It will undoubtably be clibmed free in the future...". Ancient Gledhillian text. This is the climb that lends its name to this line of cliff. It takes the wide jagged crack which can be so easily seen from Flat Rock.

Start: Starts on the far right edge of the Clicke Cliff.

Just your regular crazy gramps stone.

One move wonder up the middle of the pillar.

Sit start on the low flake and climb straight up to top out. Several ways to work on your hands. Well featured problem and you'll wish it kept going.

Climb to ledge. Move left to imposing black wall. Traverse left on knob style holds. Then up menacing headwall with just enough holds. Upgraded to reflect difficulty.

The giant scoop 10 meters left of Gripmaster.

Step into scoop gaining two well chalked under clings, walk up feet high and leap for rail. Needs many pads and spotters as it is committing and in serious ankle breaking territory.

Uhuru

Sit start on good side pull and small crimp, up through crimps before veering left as the landing falls away.

2m right of Gettin' Hungry

Dai Koyamada's addition to Andersens. Sit start matched on the left facing flake. Move up the wall and jump like mad to the lip.

Starts right of 'Krusti' at the bottom of the cave and heads out leftwards to finish on that problem's large sloping finish hold.

Start as for French Toast but head diagonally right using the poor pocket to gain big juggy ledge. Finish up Sydney Highrise. Climbing around the pocket (i.e., traversing right directly into Sydney Highrise) is off line.

Very high slab tucked away below and left of the Orca boulder

The LH crack weakness. Solid for 3!

Sit start matched on little input edges and a sidepull. Climb straight up to top out. Getting your butt off the ground is no easy feat.

Start on small edges in horizontal crack. Move to a pocket and then to the break. Follow the break left and head up around the arete.

Sit start on the left side of the slot (of Green Destiny). Climb straight up the face on crimps to a slopey top out over a potentially back-breaking landing.

A fun, though dank, warmup flake traverse starting in the small corridor between the two slabs.

Sit start on the juggy holds under the roof. Move back to a bad undercling and make a hard move to the pocket on the arete. Finish up Golden Oldie.

Logical 2 bolt finish to top of cliff

Stand start to climb arete. (I presume this was first done long ago)

The direct finish to the previous problem up a bit of blankness just right of the pocket.

Sit start on slopey edge. Make a hard move up left to a slopey edge and continue to top out as for White Destiny. Bring a brush!!

V4 Stand Start, V5 Sit Start

A variant way of doing 'Cave Man', essentially eliminating the big RH gaston move, but climbing the same problem.

Brilliant varied wall climbing with a thin crimpy finish. Up Koalasquatsy for 5m (wires). Lean right to clip u-bolt on rooflet. Out right then up pumpy flake, step left into heucos then over roof to final tricky headwall. 6 UBs and lower-off.

Never written up, but reportedly a route has been done up the beautiful wall halfway along the 'Cucumber Sandwich' traverse.

Seeps like a waterfall, except during long dry spells. Great moves though.

Steep problem right of the right arete, ending in a mantle. Grade unknown.

Sit start on the left side of the low juggy break. Make a big move to the slopey pocket and top out up big holds.

Sit start with a side pull on the large, juggy flake.

Start as for Minute Man, then traverse the face to link up with Silent Observer on the arête and follow for the top out on slab. Not official name, please let us know if you FA'd it and would like naming rights

Bouldery start leads up edge of black groove to a rest. Cool finish up rib feature.

Prefect splitter.

Corners to small roof, take this up right-hand side and up to top.

Sit start under the prow with low opposing holds. Slap up on opposing holds then reach up to good holds. Top out left or right over the nose. Solid at the grade but really fun!

Start as for 'Passion' and then from the crimps of that problem head right via two more crimps (or pocket) to gain the start of 'Fashion'. Finish up this.

Sit-start under the 'flat' roof just where the XXXX graffiti resides. Sharp pocket and hopeless edge, then up and slightly left, finishing as for 'Fallen Cow'.

Crux slab hold may have broken.
