South Face

Type
Face
Part of
Marian Pk

Routes on the South Face are accessed by climbing up the slabs below Sabre then traversing the terrace that runs the length of the wall. The lower cirque wall climbed with aid during the FA of Maid Marion and freed when Mater Dei was climbed
This photo shows the upper wall approx 600m vertical with Mater Dei 1000m, 20 in red and Maid Marian 1000m 21 in Green. Both routes start via the same six pitches on the lower tier which range from 16 - 20. Mater Dei is less sustained and on average has easier climbing. The rock however on Maid Marian is excellent and it offers clean sustained climbing most of the way up the route.

I deleted the SE Face, as a simple solution. Not sure if there is much or enough difference in aspects or routes to warrant a separate SE Face place? Did the Jones/Fantini start from the bottom? Or did they drop down a bit from the col?
