Pierce's Pass routes 4-Jan-2011 At 11:25:53 AM voodoo

Message

Yesterday I was out at Pierce's Pass checking a few things out in the fog. I headed across the carrotted traverse at the far right of the lunch ledge and spotted a few climbs.

Having returned I went to look them up to see what they were. Couldn't find anything about them on the ACA route db, thecrag.com, Sydney Rockies new route updates, my 2007 carter guide, or the pdf Pierce's Pass topo.

Here's a quick 'n' dirty piccie of the ones I was standing under.

The green line is a right trending line of rings. The red line is a line of bash ins that heads up a corner fold and traverses out under a small roof, before heading off I dont know where (this route is clearly not new, but yet strangely undocumented as far as i could tell)

Can anyone tell me what these routes are and give me an idea of where they go and how they climb?

I also saw a number of new(ish) looking routes sprouting up from all along the lunch ledge walkin. Its such a pity this area is so undocumented - sadly I had no idea what I was looking at most of the time.
