Main Cliff - The Yak Pasture

(7 routes)

This small upper tier is above the Tree Route on the main cliff. There is access to a vegetated ledge on the left side of The Yak Pasture from the cliff top above Chinese Whispers. The holds have a curious rounded but positive quality which makes the crag quite unusual to climb on.

On the LH side of the cliff, about halfway down the slope. Crack with steep start has some good moves.

Start two metres right and pull through the small triangular overhang; then carefully on rounded holds up the thin crack, utilising creative cam placement opportunities as they arise. Climb the steepening crack through the bulge (crux) to an easy finish.

Start under the overhang in the central base of the cliff. Climb up and left along leaning crack/ramp, to a mantle or step-up to gain the ledge. Move up and step right to the left-trending jam crack, and through to the top.

Climb through the right side of the overhang, then up and left to crack on right side of a broad prow. Up crack on good holds but well-spaced gear (crux - committing), then continue up and finish in upper hand crack.

Climb through the overhang as for B.I.R.D., and up the crack through second overhang, then move right into vegetated groove and up the gully. Opinions vary as to the grade of the climb.
