Chuckle Vision | III 3 | 450m |
|
![]() |
||||||
Takes a line between Night Vision and the obvious shortish wide gully high on
the face, just to the left of the upper reaches of Night Vision. Start at the
lowest rocks, at a ramp just to the left of the start of Night Vision.
Start by climbing a small, 5m, step to gain the obvious right to leftwards
trending ramp, pass under a small wall, and continue to the foot of an
obvious rightward tending 30m corner at 60m. Climb the corner onto a small
ridge which is followed leftward through a 25m rock belt that opens onto a
small snowfield. Travel up rightwards over the snowfield towards an obvious
weakness, belay under a alarge rock. Step out right and climb through 15m of
broken ground to another snowfield. Move up and right over this snowfield,
heading towards two short 30m parallel gullies, whhich lead to a 50m gully,
running up leftwards hidden behind large rocks, to exit on the riddgeline.

Takes the prominent shallow, right-facing groove in the centre of the face.
Follow the groove for 3 pitches, then work up easier angled snowfields to the
ridge.

Homer Sapiens | III 3 | 400m |
|
![]() |
||||||
The obvious deep gully/groove line close to the centre of the face.
5-6 pitches of technical climbing then some easy ground to the ridge. The
first 2 to 3 pitches follow an obvious grove/corner system up to the obvious
snow field. Above the snow field the route follows the continuation of the
grove/corner. The first pitch above the snow field was the crux and was
climbed on good turf and thin ice. If this pitch was out of condition it
would be possible to escape left from the snow field onto night vision.

Blurred Vision | III 4 | 350m |
|
![]() |
||||||
Up and right of Homer Sapiens is a large bay, at the back of which are two
grooves. This route takes the curving groove on the right-hand side of the
bay. An excellent and varied climb.
Snowed up slabs and turf lead to a belay on the right, 40m.
Follow the steepening groove to a belay, 60m.
Continue up the groove onto a slabby ramp, belay part way up the ramp, 40m.
Follow the ramp, then head up right to a belay, 55m.
Move up to a small arete, then up left to a belay under a small slab, 30m.
Go round right and up a wide slabby groove to belay on a small snowfield,
55m.
Go left and up an awkward chimney groove to belay under the final rocks, 40m.
Move right and across to belay on the ridge, 30m.

Double Vision | III 2 | 150m |
|
![]() |
||||||
Double Vision (III, 2+) is in the next gully right of Blurred Vision. A turfy
first pitch (60m) leads into a big easy snow amphitheatre visible from the
road. From here, two pitches up a corner and gully system on climber's right
(best split into 30m + 60m lengths due to a crux section about 40-50m up)
leads to the Homer Saddle ridge. Exit via ridge to Homer Saddle.
The route was named due to the unnecessary amount of time taken on the ascent
with five people on two ropes.

Grovelly Chimney of Joy | II 3 | 60m |
|
![]() |
||||||
Obvious Chimney lookers left of Failing Vision. Chimney to 1/2 height with nice climbing, poor pro and loose rock. Right from here into gully up nice turf with good wires. Tops out at ridge. Decent via traverse to Homer Saddle.

Failing Vision | II 2 | 80m |
|
![]() |
||||||
A short route with a couple of well protected steep steps, up an open
groove/depression in the buttress immediately to the left of the Homer Saddle
approach gully. 3 pitches, finishing almost on the Saddle. May largely bank
out after heavy snow.
