Mandela Sector

The central meeting point here is usually under Nelson himself (Winnie won’t complain anymore).

Day Break (4)
Obvious chimney line

1. Morning Winpenny (5)
At last a pleasant warm up just left of a prominent crack.

2. Duhka (6c) ★
A faint groove, overlap and technical move.

3. Blabba Mouth (7a) ★
Slightly squeezed onto vague arête.

4. East of Sweden (6c) ★★
Pleasant wall and shallow scoop with a little air between the BRs.

5. Nelson Mandela (7b) ★★
Classic. Powerful but innocuous start followed by awkward moves on the upper arête. Has lost crucial undercut hold since first ascent.

Desperate start to humpbacked Overlap. Gain it from left at 6b.

7. Spunk Trumpets (6c) ★
Pleasant via vague white tower.

8. Join the Union Jack (6b+) ★
Awkward bulge with beak and easy wall.

9. Ninety Nine Rabid feminists (6c+)

Difficult starting moves on arête lead to easier bulge and fine finale of 99 Rabid Feminists.

11. Stars and Stripes (6c)★★*
Difficult overlap and pleasant upper groove.

12. Bad Man from Bodie (7a)★*
Technical and dynamic into and up the tiny groove.

Short, sharp and nasty overlap

Smashing climbing via shallow groove system.

15. Dry Day (6c) ★
Technical start and awkward groove. High in grade .

There are a handful of routes around to the left.

You’re Having a Laugh (6a) is the testing little slab just left:
Amuse Bouche (4+) is the scoop rightwards:
