Start up Classic Arete, traverse break to RH arete

On backside of main boulder - essentially facing the boulder that houses problem 5 + 6

Traverse from left to right following the crack

Sit start up obvious arete on the boulder behind the warm-up slab boulder. Some of the best quality rock in the area.

Top has two anchors for lowering. One is a chemical bolt and another is an expansion bolt with ring.

First route to be encountered on the way to temple, beginning before top tree. Starts in the hood and goes towards heel traverse to left, ending with a throw to top out. The anchor bolts have maillons.

Third route, right of Spanish Chilean traverse when you hike up the stairs to the temple intersection on the left side. 2 anchor bolts with hangers and one maillon. (One more bolt above and to the left of the anchor bolts with hanger.)

Good looking line as you near the top of the stairs on the left hand side. Long moves, slight overhang. There are 2 variations of this route. The straight up variation is 7a and the right side variation using the same bolts is 6c.

Anchor has one glue in bolt + One hanger bolt with a mylon.

Route goes along the line of the bolts, not too much right left else the grade differs.

The route share the first four hanger with the route " Bombay Mithai" and then splits to the right.

Anchor has one glue in bolt + One hanger bolt with a mylon.

Anchor has one glue in bolt + One hanger bolt with a mylon.

Awesome, awesome route, pumpy long throws on great rock. Start same as the 7c+ but head right. Must do

A rewarding crux before bolt #3 a non-existent monos to a beautiful jug followed by easy climbing if you find the good holds. Don't be in a rush, try to avoid the ledges and be mindful of the rope while doing the crux.

Sunshine wall Left had route, heading right through steep ground. No anchors, trad finish. Routes labeled left to right This is the first route starting from the left side on this wall

Sunset wall Nice holds leading all the way to top. No anchors

First routes on the entrance of the gully before reaching the sector higher up. Shares 1st bolt with Jumping Indian but heads right. Pump fest. 1st bolt kinda high, starts w/ slab with crimps then slopers. No hand rests to a juggy overhang. Amazing route! Must do!

Anchor has 2 hanger bolts.

This route shares the first two clips with the Dreamer and then moves to the right.

Bouldery start to good climbing.

Bouldery start to good climbing.

Cool line, technical crimps and side pulls on a slightly overhanging wall.

Take off on the jug, and then the feature that was useful to make moves further broke.

Project.

Starts along a ledge of a crack traversing left, and then the project crux for about six-eight feet of connecting to the upper section, over the roof.

Seems possible to protect with pitons in the upper thin crack. The lower diagonal crack can be protected with hand and smaller cams. Cams only! Or Tricams, maybe.

In the cave about five meters south of the Bare Necessities. Chimney up and opposite the route, into the tunnel for top access.

Starts with a chimney up to the roof crack and then sustained moves on the roof and demands precise footwork. Burly crack at the lip to finish

Gear: Standard rack

FFA: Aravind Selvam, May 2018

Walk left of the Middle-Earth chimney on the plateau. To the boulder with a crack and a tree sticking out of the middle

Bring your fist-jam A-game to free this line.

The lower part of the route up until the roof and the tree has lower-5.10 moves on the bee-wax coated, orange streaked, slippery slab.

The crux is the off-width bit above the roof. Another 15-feet past the roof, when the crack ends, exit to the right or left to the top-out, another 10 odd feet. Both are run-out sections until the top-out. The landing is directly onto the tree. R- rated for that reason.

The grading holds if you don’t use the tree to climb up.

Note: A beehive resides under the roof for some part of the year. Late winter to summer is when the beehive has been noted to be missing, i.e. between February and June.

Gear: Camalot #0.5-#4 and a small set of nuts. Doubles of #2, #3, #4 would help for the anchor in the upper crack. Or Hexes maybe.

Anchor: The upper visible crack is the last possibility to set up a top-anchor, else top out, 15-feet from the top-out, fist and larger sized crack, or even further behind, below the boulders.

Natural Anchor: Possible with a tree, about 30-feet behind the top-out, but without much for directionals. Also, the first section of the route could be top- roped, with the anchor on the tree.

To reach the top of the route, either, one, climb through the easy routes to the left, and the series of trees, two, hike around from left through the Jumme Ki Raat valley, three, hike around over the slabs to the right of Chris Shawarma route, or, four, apparently there is a narrow chimney a few feet to the right of the route, next to the Jungle Harmony route.

FFA: Aravind Selvam, Dec 2017.

A finger and hand crack that runs horizontally to the right and then connects through a series of horizontal cracks to the top

Easy to protect, stiff climb

Aided my way up and then attempted to project

Exit: Mid-way through to the right (east), a tree allows you to rap off back to the base. Tree on the west face as well.

Rack: Doubles of #.3 through #.75 and nuts of similar size or below. Preferably off sets.

Anchor: Cracks and tree (Halfway up to the right)

Natural Anchor: Tree

Stiff crimpy first 20 feet and then couple of cuxy sections to the top out.

Rachit Singhvi figured out the moves.

Same top-anchor as Angulimala***

Chimney & Traverse

Immediately to the north of the King Swing boulder.

The chimney for the 6 odd meters, starts on a slab, and then quickly becomes mildly challenging. Possible to protect with a #6 cam (Wild Country), and then a finger sized crack on the back wall of the chimney, to protect before transitioning to the traverse.

The first half of the traverse is relatively simple, with a featured slab for the feet. The protection is with finger and double-finger sized pieces. Nuts will work. The crack is flaring, and deceptive from the ground level. One odd crux to move over the slab, while using the under-cling on the crack.

Part-way through the traverse, the overlapping tongue over the crack dips, and the crux section of the traverse begins subsequently. This is where the Ghorar Dim crack touches the feet. After this ‘tongue’, the crack widens to small-hands to hand-size.

This is the crux of the entire route, for next dozen odd feet. Doubles of double- finger sized cams or nuts. Green and purple BD cams, that is.

From around the corner, anchor on to the tree. A hand-crack in the corner leading up to the top out, or exit from the tree.

Rack: One #6 or just run it out in the chimney. And then finger & hand-sized pieces upto the yellow BD cam. A set of nuts. Doubles of green and purple BD cams would help with the crux.

Anchor: Mid-route station in the crack, and a tree around the corner when the traverse ends.

Route by Sohan and Amrit Appaden. May 29th, 2022. Aided the second half of the traverse.

Overhanging finger crack & then Hand crack on the slab

The boulder west of the Bar-Stool boulder. The boulder looks as if it has been sliced in half, diagonally. The lower part of the boulder is vertical or overhanging all around it, and then the upper section is a 30-foot long slab, gaining in height from south to the north.

Two crack lines facing on the lower section facing south and the east. The line facing south is the line being referred to here.

Overhanging finger

The upper slab section has three cracks radiating out and connecting to the top. The far-right (east) crack ends half-way up. The far-left crack is filled with grass currently but offers the best protection when the grass is dug out. The overall grade of the route is defined by the lower section, so does not mater which line is taken on the slab. But helps with the exit, as it currently involves down- climbing.

Rack: Fist-sized cams and below. Couple of finger-sized cams.

Anchor: Couple of stout boulders sitting on the edge forming cracks below them

Exit: Down-climb or leave-behind Tats. No tats have been left behind currently.

Finger and hand crack

Follow the Higher Than Noon crack, and then traverse left, and run out the last cruxy moves on the face.

Couple of variations here. Either follow the much stiffer horizontal crack line or climb the face above it. The horizontal crack traverse variation is stiffer. Both versions are hard to protect. But both connect to the vertical crack on the left.

The vertical crack allows for good protection. (Need spares of #3 to protect here).

Rack: Fist sized cracks and below. Doubles of #3 and #2.

Anchor: Tree at the end of the crack and cracks behind.

Natural Anchor: Tree at the top. Directional pieces still might be needed.
