Red Wall topo 1

Red Wall topo 2

1. Crab Stick (6c)
Just right of arête of wall. Sustained climbing finishing rightwards from the fifth BR.

2. Lobster on the Loose (7a)
Tricky mantelshelf start. Wall to difficult ramp and steep finish. Rebolted

3. Rapture of the Deep (7a) ★★
Through overlap and technical wall to left side of slab. Slim sustained groove exiting right to belay. Rebolted

4. Subterranean Sidewalk (6c+) ★★
Short arête to start then wall to right-hand side of slab. Vague arête to belay. Airy climbing, sustained but with the crux by the second BR.

5. Dead Man’s Fingers (6c+) ★★
Slightly down slope. Superb sustained climbing. New finale added through bulges on right to give an airy finish.

6. The Ancient Mariner (7a) ★★★
Climbs to the top of the wall. A superb route with hard moves at half-height and an ‘out there’ finish. 70m rope gets you back to the ground.

Red Wall right-hand side

Red Wall topo 3

7. Shipperdy Doo-Dah (7a)
Climbs straight with hard moves over overlap and difficult finale.

8. The Deep (6c+)
Lower down again. From ledges at 5m climb direct to the via half-height slab BB. 60m rope required.

9. I Saw Three Ships (6c+) ★★
Fine direct pitch to two-thirds height belay. Excellent sustained climbing. 60m rope gets you back down.

10. Ship Dip (6c+) ★★
Direct line with tricky lower wall aiming for shallow groove high up. Superb. 60m rope gets you back down.

11. Mussel Bound (7a) ★★★
At bottom of slop, left of main corner. Left-hand of two grooves then direct line up impending wall. Brilliant and high in grade. 60m rope gets you back down.

12. Long John Codling (7a) ★★
Right-hand of two grooves then wall above. Difficult moves, then leftwards and up to belay. Retrobolted

13. Dead Man’s Chest (7a) ★★
Superb diagonal of wall requiring 18 quick-draws and an 80. Superb climbing but best done on a quiet day.

Clematis (6b+)
The long corner line has now been bolted. Needs some traffic. Retrobolted

Poison Ivy (7a) ★★
The slim side wall right of the corner gives a superb wall pitch with the difficulties just above the 4th BR. Retrobolted and new belay added.

The Day of the Triffids (6b+)
The right arête of the wall, mainly on its left-hand side.
