#SD under the lip with a right hand crimp. Move up to a shelf and keep moving to the second shelf and finally the top out. LOcation: Head down the winding trail from the Kakani main wall passing a few small boulders until a clearing with an obviously cleaned face on the left.

Boulder outside Shomare, 75m from lodge. Good landing.

Start from chest height on sharp crimp and sloper crimp. Get established, then powerful move to 2 decent holds at head height. Continue up and topout (arete is on).

You can downclimb the backside at V0

A huge block standing alone on a sunny terrace, with views down to the Gokyo village and the blue lake. Perfect for a warmup with good views. Heel Hook to top out

Stand start on the right edge and mantle out.

Mossy slabby highball along the edge.

#SD on the left of the edge.

Topo. 30min walk from Talekhu

Start off moving up to a left hand shelf, a jug and continue to some sharp pockets above. Smear and crimp until you make it to the top for some good jams to make the last clip ...or reach up over to find more options.

Approach: You can find this route in the caged in area on the top platform between the left trending crack and a small overhang at the base of the cliff.

Sit start next to the small stream and climb the immaculate arete.

Left of the Yak Cheese factory. Get ready to attract an audience of locals! Stand start the big “Buddha” (as a local stated) compressing the big bulge.
