The first route on the far left-hand end of Chunderosa Buttress. Climb the corner to the left of the big cave (wires for protection). Go left under the roof and cross over the arete, then up the wall. It's possible to avoid the natural pro section by starting around to the left and just climbing the wall. Finish up the headwall to the right of the last bolt. DBC belay.

A seriously overhanging route, with an even steeper crux section. Climb through the roof at the highest point (crux) then straight up to a TBC belay.

Excellent technical climbing on pockets to the DBC belay. A crack continues above this belay, take small friends and a brush if you want to do this section.

Amazing that such a steep climb goes at grade 18, but the grade is bona fide, 8 bolts that pop
up just where you need them. A DBC belay just below the very exposed finish, gives those who
don’t feel like doing the crux move with its slung bollard for pro, a chance to bail. DBC belay.

A stunning line when seen from edge on, this overhanging wall just cleaves the sky. Climb
straight up past 3 bolts, then go diagonally left past 2 bolts to a ledge. You can clip a bolt on
Canard before stepping right again onto the face. The next placement is a sling before mantling
left to the Belay. Very sustained climbing on big holds, 7 bolts DBC belay

A long, easy arete - just the type of climbing Dave loves. Now rebolted with 15 bolts. DBC belay. Watch the abseil back down as the route is over the 25m long.

Climb up past 8 bolts to the sloping ledge at 25m. Finish up the crack as for Hebe, DBC belay
at the top, 14 bolts in total. Make sure your ropes reach the ground and will pull through
before rapping off, or you will have a long walk back to the top.

10m left of Hannah Louise. The crux is about 2/3 of the way up above a ledge. A fine climb for

Starts up the yellow lichen staying out on the arete. The crux is just above the 6th bolt, which it
shares with Hotter Than A Very Hot Thing. This is the only bolt with a hanger. 6 naked bolts
and 1 with a hanger. Belay as for Hotter Than A Very Hot Thing.
Rebolted 2015 now has 14 bolts.

The first three to four metres of climbing is on soft rock but the rest is solid. DBC belay. Watch your rope length on the descent.

The long narrow groove on the east side of Chunderosa Buttress. It's possible but not necessary to place some mid sized wires for extra protection near the top. There is a DBC belay on the lip that makes the descent easier – but you should still do the full finish and pull over onto the summit. Watch your rope length on the descent.
