Problems:
| 6A |
|
Left wall | Ascend the left side of the side wall of the Matterhorn boulder. It feels like a total sandbag at 6A, until you manage it! | Edit | Delete | |
| 7B |
|
Fractal | Crimp up crimpy nothingnesses to slap for the top | Edit | Delete | |

Matterhorn Arete | The obvious, appealing arete on its left-hand side. Slightly highball, but has large holds most of the way up. Despite this, the strain on the fingers is extremely severe, approaching the limit of strength. If it were two feet longer it may well be beyond the powers of any man. | Edit | Delete | |
| 7B+ |
|
Rasputin | Sit-start the green slab right of Matterhorn Arete. No holds in the groove allowed! | Edit | Delete | |
| 7A+ |
|
Baby Jesus | Sit-start at the end of the thin crack and follow it rightwards on thin slots to the start of Matterhorn Arete. Finish up this. Easier for the smaller-fingered amongst us! | Edit | Delete | |
| 7B+ |
|
Matterhorn Arete sit start | Start from sitting directly under the arete via an undercut and slopers on the arete. Clamp some polished slopers, then campus some small pockets to reach the start of Matterhorn Arete. | Edit | Delete | |
| 8A |
|
Chiasmata | Impressive sloper slapping and fridge hugging moves allow you to ascent the prow adjacent to the Matterhorn boulder. | Edit | Delete |
