The access route for the main cliff, climbs black spikey flake/groove feature up to the "Genesis Ledge". Locate a single belay bolt behind a tree growing on the ledge system at the base. The obvious crux comes at the last 2 bolts as you pull over onto the ledge.

Up and under the stalactite then up to a seam which leads to the anchor. Best to stick clip the first bolt.

Two pitches make for a long, fun route

Starts a few meters to the north of Gita. P1 - start up the corner seam placing medium size wires and cams as you go. Over the bulge to double bolt belay. P2 - start up the crack placing med wires and cams. When the crack disappears keep going a few more meters to gain the double bolt belay. Rap back to P1 anchors and re- rap, a 70m doubled over with rope stretch will NOT reach the ground from P2 anchors.

Fangatave is a sport climbing area, however it would be a crime to bolt this line as it can be entirely protected with trad gear. Please respect the wishes of the first ascensionists.

Starts just right of Blade Runner in the next corner line. Easy start leads to thin crux in left facing corner up to DBB.

Have slings to extend draws on p2. When lowering off p2 be careful not to lose the wall, a 70m doubled over will NOT reach the ground with rope stretch. You must re abseil from p1 anchors to reach the ground.

The wall to the left of the Descent line, snaking with vines and roots, was climbed in an exploratory style for potential beginners routes, but lowered off from a small tree about 9m up, unimpressed.

Infinity Minus One Possibilities is a top-roped climb located on the northeast face of the first spire-like rock (dubbed Ray of Light) south of Paipalap on the island of Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. The basalt plug is about 165 feet from base to tip. To reach it, hike along the ridge from Paipalap to the base of the rock. The rear can be climbed with care (5.8 mixed rock, trees, roots, and turf) to reach the bolt locations. This is the most dangerous part of the climb. Almost a free-solo--there is virtually nothing to protect you from a fall, except a tree about halfway up. NEVER attempt to set a rope on this rock when conditions are even slightly wet (which is frequently). TR bolts and chains are located at the eastern lip of the spire. The top-rope should be set with two 60m ropes. This climb was bolted in July 2005 by Daniel Moor. The route is still in the exploration phase, following various cracks from the base of the spire. Climbing on basalt in Micronesia is more varied than other locations, with all sorts of finger pockets, face holds, very shallow cracks, and strangely-shaped crevices. This climb has it all, but rock surfaces are often covered with lichen and moss, making them unusually slick. The route has been climbed to the prominent roof about 90 feet from the bottom.

The RH line. Follow the RBs up the featured face.

8m left of Powerball. Wrestle up the column to start then head straight up via jugs.

The furthest route to the left (RB's) on the upper tier, Keep your feet on through the bulge or the grade significantly increases! Nice exposure. Be careful not to fall off the edge when at the base of the route..

Has comfortable belay stance for bringing up your second if heading over to Top Deck.

Ring bolted line starting below the giant Indiana Jones boulder in the top of the nook.

The left hand line, starts off the block near small tree and has DBB up and out of sight.

Fun flake on jugs. Start as for TA for 3 FHs but keep moving R on the large under cling flake (3RBs). 6 bolts, DRBB

This means “Artefact Thief”, equipped by one person, climbed by another, ha ha. Start on the far L end of the main wall at a belay bolt off the top of the boulder on the ledge above the void. Be careful here as it’s a 60m plus drop. Use the belay bolt. Up the technical face onto the ramp. Up L a little then up the face to the top. 7RBs and DRBB.

Access pitch for the classics, finish on the belay anchors for S&P, or a fun little route on its own (get someone to second). Up C&B until the mini roof, move left for a couple of bolts to the belay ledge. Good foot work makes it easy !!

The warm up on the big wall. Start up 'COVID Fit' for 3 bolts (long draw on the 3rd) then move right into the easy bit on 'Have I Told You Lately'.

The corner

Pitch 1: 5b, Pitch 2:5c

Direct start to SE Buttress. Steep and interesting climbing with some loose, shattered flakes. The buttress above is the best part.

Long slab and face climb right of the water streak on the Phil's Biv slabs.

Superb climbing and great position/ exposure in lower half, then runs out of steam in upper section.

Variation of Fantini Coradine.

Starting at the broken ledges, move left before straightening and climbing up the left side of the headwall. Continue right past the roofs to finish up the split headwall crack.
