KESTOR ROCK
SX665 863
This crag is found to the West of Chagford (aka. "Chaggyford, that cold place where ole nick died o cold"). There are a handful of short routes that the competent can treat as extended boulder problems. There is also potential for new problems...if you're keen and have a brush!
Approach: From Chagford pick up signs for Kestor RockWhen approaching from the road a steep wall can be seen on the right (ie. Roughly SW facing).
The problems/routes are described from L to R.
Perspiration HVS 5b The overhanging, fine grained nose of rock on the left. Finish pretty much direct with much roundness.
Brown Oasis Severe Climbs the corner to the R of the previous route to join it for the rounded top out.
Kes E4 6a Starting to the R of the corner climb direct, via a groove, to gain a hollow sounding flake (gear). Above here a rounded finish lurks and proves to be the crux.
Sigg-y Stardust VS 5b On the R side of the wall is a large jug - from here gain a scoop above and finish direct.
Wart-Ho VD The line R of Sigg-y Stardust.
Warts'n'All Diff The line R again.
