I climbed the Sentinel many many years ago on a school trip! I think we went up on the right hand route in the above photo. I thought that was the standard route?

If someone leads and sets up the ropes for you, its a straightforward climb. Must be tolerant of a bit of exposure on the top section though.

I am actually highly tempted to put aside my "I don't do rock climbing" thoughts on an attempt at this one. But aside from the "rock climbing" I did on school camps many years ago (more correctly some impatient camp leader pulling me up a 15m rock face on White Mountain as I tried to find something to hold onto), I have no climbing experience. It may be on my to-do list...

Yes indeed. 15m D pitch at the start and then an exposed scramble near the top (unless you take Mcleods variation, which has more climbing).

We descended the standard route after climbing Angus Leppan and only had to bring the rope out to abseil the 15m D pitch.

Is the standard route up the Sentinal almost entirely a hike with just 2 short climbing sections?
