Lumpy Ridge Classics

Batman and Robin

Batman and Robin summits the exposed Pinnacle, a mini-Petit Grepon. A great, fun climb but harder than the first two listed.

J-Crack

The most sought after climb at Lumpy Ridge, a must-do crack climb with a friction crux on the third pitch.

Area Information: Lumpy, the Book, J-Crack slab
Rating: 5.9 – 5.11
Pitches: 5-6

Kor’s Flake

A moderate classic on the largest cliff in the sub-alpine. Kor’s offers diverse climbing and frightening exposure. The fourth pitch is superb.

Magical Chrome Plated

Truly odd name, truly great climb. One can walk off after the second pitch or summit the dome. Mostly moderate slab climbing with a few harder moves passing roofs.

Area Information: Lumpy, the Pear
Rating: 5.6
Pitches: 5

Mainliner

A fantastic route, its crux involves a wide stem off opposing corners. Another route featuring diverse climbing—from thin edges, to fingers, to hand and fist jams. Does not feel much harder than Kor’s Flake.

Osiris

Much harder and more strenuous than White Whale. The first pitch chimney (rated 5.6) makes you earn the wonderful crux—twin finger cracks through a bulge.

Pear Buttress

Every climb on this part of the Book is superb. Pear Buttress features a thin slab start, followed by laybacks and hand jams—great technique training.
