Mordor and The Lost WorldsThis is a featured page

It is hoped that routes like Prometheus Unbound, The Wall Within and Heaven Walls will get re-equipped at some point.

Khyber Pass
XXXposure F6a+ / 6b? New Route, the short arete left of Dragon Slayer 3 Bolts + lower off. An exposed and photogenic little route high above the void of Twll Mawr...FA I Lloyd-Jones and P Targett (Both Led) 6 / 7 / 07

Mordor
The Approach tunnel to Bonza crack has dropped its roof inside, This means Bonza is now only accessible be abseil and maybe destablised. As might the outer edge of Kyber Pass


Heaven Walls
Sauron F8b 25m **
Awesome searing crackline on the big blank wall left of The Dinorwig Unconquerable.

F.A: James McHaffie (3/3/08)

Saruman F7a ** 30m
Climbs a natural line of grooves and flakes on the left hand side of the Sauron Slab, 11 bolts protect to a lower off + a bolt belay on the ledge above. Great crux on the arete of a square cut groove by the 9th bolt. FA Ian Lloyd-Jones and Sion McGuinness 5/5/11


Dinorwig Unconqerable - new bolt belay, you now have the option of lowering off.
The Long and Winding Road - new bolts, extra one to protect the 'turbo glide' as lassoing the peg prooved un-popular (!) and the peg is poor now, I've left it in though cos it'll add a bit charachter as you ascend, there is scope for the odd small wire placement too.
Pain Killer - have replaced the belay bolts and cleaned up the route again, the bolts will need maillons and the route will need another brush when it's dried out. MR 1/3/09

On this route a peg is lasoed from below to protect the 'powerglide' move, and for mortals to 'Aid'. Should the peg be replaced by a new one, or should we look at ways to make a stainless steel spike lassoable or should we retro bolt the line?

Any thoughts Mike, as the FA's?
