Description Suggest change

For years, the mysterious, upper tiers of New River Wall supported rumors of artificial holds and improbable natural sequences. Recently these roofs have been properly bolted and worked, yielding a few amazing, bouldery routes in an outstanding position.

High Vibrations is the leftmost route out of this trio and begins by climbing Love Your Enemies to the anchor. Skipping the chain draw, clip a bolt out left, and execute a V5 traverse sequence that feels airy and interesting. A long chain can be clipped before shuffling even further left and copping a no-hands rest at Execution’s anchors. Rest up completely, and immediately fire into a nasty shoulder move to get established on the upper wall. Brilliant tension climbing and beta intensive moves finally break for a moment at a sharp, left hand pocket. The next few moves are juggy, exposed, hero climbing to the finish; although I did find them to be quite pumpy and hard from the bottom.

For those concerned about difficult clips, skipping the last two bolts and whipping from the top of the wall is a HUGE (albeit completely clean) fall. Get after it!

Location Suggest change

It is the leftmost line out of NRW’s “legacy routes.” Start on Love Your Enemies, hand traverse under the large roof to a rest over left, then climb back up the bulging headwall. Finish at long chain anchors.

Protection Suggest change

Mostly fixed draws, but bring one or two extra for the opening traverse.
