New Routes by Crag ~ Wallsend Central

Route Name Grade First Ascentionist Description Date Climbed
Waiting for the Barbarians F6c Mick Ward Start up the short corner of Peace in the Nineties. Pull out left onto a sloping ledge. The faint groove and wall above lead to a convenient bivouac ledge. The wall right of The Watchman is climbed via some lovable rugosities. August 8th 2008
Some Velvet Morning F7a Mick Ward Start up the short corner of Peace in the Nineties and continue its traverse rightwards into the middle of the wall. Head for the impressive undercut arête and follow this to a distinctive conclusion. Take a 60 metre rope and at least 15 quickdraws. Go home and listen to the late, great Lee Hazlewood at his most soulful. August 8th 2008
Child Of Light F6c+ Mick Ward Climb Immaculata to the groove, then break out left and surge up the impending wall. September 10th 2009
Once Upon A Time In The West F6c Mick Ward Start as for Best Fingers Forward, then weave up the wall to the obvious groove. This is climbed past a relic of Reverend Bob Shepton’s time in these parts. Exit the groove via some of the most amazing holds on Portland. September 19th 2009
