FALLEN GIANT

These climbs are about 30 minutes from the car and are found on the smooth wall in front of The Fallen Giant. Access: Either rap in on the photographer’s ropes or walk to the east end of The Giant and scramble down to a largish ledge. Clamber down through the tree and swing around right to get to the base of The Fallen Giant. A lot of bolts have been removed from some of these climbs.
Time from car:
Climbs are described from left to right.

Jack And The Beanstalk 17m 17
Climb the left leading seam 2m left of Baby Beaver to below the bulge, bolt, move left (#4 Friend) and then right to another bolt. Finish through the bulge. Russell Crow. 2.12.89

Baby Beaver 18m 21
There are two bolts (beware of them both) on the left end of the wall just left of the really smooth stuff, climb past them. Geoff Butcher, Chris Lawrence. 9.12.89

*Ready, Steady, Gleddie 15m 26
Slopes and grit are the order of the day. Climb the blunt arete right of Baby Beaver and at the left end of the smooth wall. Four untrustworthy bolts. Mike law, Stephen Hamilton. 6.1.91

The next two routes are now totally bolt free. The rock is dangerous when combined with carrot bolts, which pull easily after repeated falls onto them. The area is readily visible to tourists and it may therefore be preferable to top-rope these excellent little problems.

*They Might Be Giants 15m 23
An excellent wall 5m left of The Touch. Glenn Tempest, Rob Nabben. 5.1.91
They Might Be Giants LHF 26
Glenn Tempest.

**The Touch 12m 26
“You've either got it, or you ain't.” At the right-hand end of the wall that The Giant has fallen from and where other would be giants will fall as well. Glenn Tempest. 3.12.89
