Start with a high right hand close to the arete.

Climb the smooth wall via small but good crimps.

Sharp and Short

Galerie des Glaces

Napoleon's Bedroom

Pompidou

Problem A

The Salon of Hercules

Climb the middle of the end wall on very small crimpy side pulls.

Good footwork will help, so will string fingers!

Start up the left arete.   When possible traverse rightwards on positive pockets for hands and small edges for feet.

Continue rightwards until the pockets stop at the right end.

Finish direct up to the top.

With hands in a couple of shallow pockets get up onto the wall and using a couple of small side pull crimps reach up to the good slot pockets.

Finish more easily direct from the slot pocket.

Using one or two cheat stones reach up to the starting pockets.  With the pockets at hand climb the slab directly using more pockets.

Start with right hand in a shallow pocket and left thumb on a sprag.

Pull onto the wall and once in balance move directly up the wall with fun moves on small but good holds until the pockets are reached.
