Nintendo 69 1 / 4

1

Koopa Troopa, 6C+

Sit-start using left-hand dimple and right-hand incut. Climb the arete. (FA Mark Derksen, 2015)
2

NIntendo 69, 7B+

Sit-start under roof, either matched low on left-facing rail, or left-hand on rail and right-hand low on arete. Some burly moves get you out of the cave, leading to more burly moves on left-hand edges and right-hand slopers. Did I say burly yet? (FA Evan Erickson, 2003)
3

Genesis, 7C

Start as per "Nintendo 69", but exit the right side of the cave, and move up the tricky face, with the arete on your left. Finish by rocking onto the slab above.
4

The Great Escape, 7A

V6ish. Sit-start using low right-hand undercling in crack, and whatever works for your left-hand. Move directly up the thin face via a tricky undercling(s), a small crimp, an obvious rail feature, and the left arete. Be cautious of the rock at your back. The stand-start from the torso-height undercling is a good V5ish problem.

1

Fatality, 7B+

V8/9. Sit-start using good, low left-hand undercling, and a bad right-hand pinch about a foot up and right. Cross right-hand up to another pinch, then bust left to gain better holds.
2

Mortal Kombat, 7B+

Start, basically laying down, matched on the block feature at the base of the arete. Head up and left, using a couple of small right hand edges around the arete, and a couple of fat, slopey pinches for your left. Gain juggy edges, and head left to top out.
3

Super Nintendo, 7A+

Start on sharp left-hand gaston, and (lower down) sharper right-hand crimp. A sloping edge up and right, and hidden, blunt undercling up and left will help you navigate up to the lip encounter. (FA Mark Derksen, 2014)
4

Console, 6C

Sit-start, using good right-facing sidepull. Climb the left-side of the mini-arete.

V7ish. Stand-start using high edges. Move up left to jug, then head right into a set of left-facing holds. Reach right for a hidden crimp, and commit to the big finish.
