Classic Baring Head country: committing routes and intricate variations.
Routes
Reference | Title | Grade | Length | Pro | Quality | Operations |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1Pocket Route, V3 | V3 | ||||
An excellent route. Be careful of the landing as there is a little island of rock on the right which is often only thinly covered. Delightful moves lead up and right to a jug and a good pod. Gain the weird two-finger pocket-type hold and make a big move to the good ledge above. Exit direct. |
||||||
2 | 2Dave Skiltons Problem, V5 | V5 | ||||
Committing. Veer up and left to the bulge. Grope over the bulge for a vague edge in the middle of the scoop. Continue up right using some passable holds, finishing with a high step-up onto the scoop. |
||||||
3 | 3Check Your Head, V10 | V10 | ||||
AKA ‘The Scoop’. A classic problem that requires good footwork, subtle movements and fingers of steel. |
||||||
4 | 4Pinch Route, V2 | V2 | ||||
Slightly freaky. Using a wide pinch below the lip, step high to reach some semi-okay holds. Top out stright up. |
||||||
5 | 5Bailer, V2 | V2 | ||||
Climb the right half of the scoop to a large rounded feature. Step high to a couple of small holds straight above. Top out veering right. |
||||||
6 | 6Leap For It, V2 | V2 | ||||
Some stiff cranking more or less up and over the small bulge. |
||||||
7 | 7Dynamic Tension, V3 | V3 | ||||
Start up Leap For It and traverse right across the bulge to finish up the right-hand exit of Swinging Dyno. |
||||||
Swing For It, V2 | V2 | |||||
Start up Leap For It and climb across to the finishing moves of Triple Dyno. |
||||||
8 | 8Triple Dyno, V1 | V1 | ||||
A classic eliminate problem. Never seems to involve any dynoing! |
||||||
Christian For A Minute, V6 | V6 | |||||
Eliminates various holds from Triple Dyno. The best style is to do all moves statically. |
||||||
9 | 9Swinging Dyno, V2 | V2 | ||||
A bit more beef (or tofu) required. |
||||||
10 | 10Super Direct, V6 | V6 | ||||
As for Swinging Dyno but instead of using the large jug at the top left, use the green circled hold instead and rock, rock, rock to glory. |
||||||
Right-Hand Exit, V2 | V2 | |||||
Climb Swinging Dyno until you've got the big right-hand rib-jug above the bulge, the continue diagonally up and right. |
||||||
The Beast, V5 | V5 | |||||
The eliminate right-hand finish to Swinging Dyno. |
