Easy slab through the distinctive scoop feature - on NE facing side of Little Double Arete boulder.

The other side of the rock offers exactly the same climbing.

Relaxing

Up front of boulder

The slab reminds of the type of climbing that exists at Cochise, on dinner plates and protected by slinging protruding rock.

Slab line, radiating left from the afore mentioned tree, in the bamboo grove.

Some creative placements and slinging the protruding chicken heads and dinner plate formations.

Exit: Either down climb or walk around to the left or right and hike down

Facing: West

Rack: Largely needed for the anchor. A set of medium nuts, #3 cam or finger size or less aliens.

Anchor: Boulder and cracks

Natural Anchor: Boulder

The corner off-width to the right of the I am Groot.

To access, either climb the first half of the I am Groot, access this off-width section and solo it out. Or set up an anchor, rappel, and climb-out.

Text-book hand crack, but unfortunately too short, and with ledges along the line make it even more simpler.

Chimney to the right of Phelps Help.

Rack: Finger and hand sized pieces.

Anchor: A tree at the top of the boulder to the right, or hand and fist sized cracks on the left boulder.

Natural Anchor: Tree on the right-side boulder.

As you walk along the base to the south, a couple of slabs separated by a channel filled up with mud.

Both sets of the slabs could be protected with gear or from the trees atop them.

Chimney

To the south of the Ball-Rama Boulder, behind the clump of Bamboo, the chimney runs for about 15-20 feet deep, and 25 feet high.

An off-width crack in the deep end to protect the climb in the chimney at the beginning of the line, but nothing else after the easy roof, unless you have big- bros.

Facing: South

Rack: Some wide-gear at the start of the route. Big Bros or just solo it out, or top rope it.

Anchor: Boulder and cracks.

Natural Anchor: Boulder

FKA: Shyam Krishnakumar, October 2021

Class four scramble to 5.2/3.

One long slab starting from a large flake to the south of these slabs, when you emerge out of the mini-forest, via the lower middle-earth section.

Some route finding to get to the base through the isolated fields.

The initial section offers some technical climbing, and then after some 50 odd meters transforms into scrambling terrain, until you reach the big V or the naamam painted on the slab.

Protection: Occasional crack and cacti. Or hip belay from stances for less experienced folks.
