Approach

Immediately left of First Wall is the common descent for this area. To the left of that is a vertical wall with prominent breaks and a big crack towards its left hand end (Problem #9).

Grade Route

Traverse the little wall from right to left. Stay below the top. This is the hard extreme right hand start of The Lindfield Traverse Complet.

Sit start on arete and straight up using tiny crimp.

Sit start on crimps, upwards.

The crack is a nice little fingerlocking drill if you strictly use the crack only, no face holds, not even those adjoining the crack. But avoid the dodgy summit blocks. Sit start in handjams.

To the left of traverse #1's block is a small buttress. Climb this directly without using the sides.

Sit start and follow up pillar using whatever holds.

On the wall proper, layback the right arete.

Right hand in the big sidepull pocket, feet up high and dyno for the top.

Undercling the breaks to the left of 4, and either crimp or dyno to glory.

1/2m to the right of the obvious discontinuous crack feature is a small pocket. Off this to very crimpy stuff above.

Excellent little problem, up the obvious hanging crack. Finger lock or face climb - fun either way.

Crimpy stuff to the left of Discontinuous Crack.

It's a crack so try to jam - if you can't jam you can use the holds on either side of the crack.

Left of the big crack, on positive edges and pockets. High; bolts on top.

The left arete of Walkdown Wall. High; bolts on top.

The most common start for the Lindfield Traverse is 3. Move left staying low. Move slightly higher at the arete for the second section of the traverse.

The Complete Lindfield Traverse, starting at 3 on Walkdown Wall and finishing in the cave of The Overhang. A great way to warmup for those harder problems.
