There are a few routes on the main central east face of Mt Everest, up behind all the previously mentioned boulders. As with several other areas, there is still a lot of undeveloped potential in this part of the mountain.

Route List
| # | ROUTE NAME / AREA | GRADE | # BOLTS | RATING | BOLTING/OPENED INFO | DESCRIPTION |
| 1. | Lakes of Fire | (25) | Trad | *** | FA: Pete Janschek (Date ?) | This line climbs an obvious, overhanging jam-crack about 25m high to the left of 'The Entertainer'. |
| 2. | The Entertainer | (15) | Trad | *** | FA: Greg Wooding and Mike Steininger (26 March 1999) | Start about 100m left of Pocket City and about 30m left of 'Something To Do'. Here you will find a huge, orange recess that faces slightly left. At the back of the recess, there is a good crack that curves up to the left.
1. 15 (20m) Push through one metre of thick bush to reach the rock at the base of the crack. Follow the left curving crack at the back of the recess up to a good stance on a narrow ledge. It is necessary to make a short deviation to the left about a third of the way up. Gear is excellent. The belay requires 2,5 to 3,5 cams.
|
| 3. | Something To Do | (12) | Trad | *** | FA: Gavin Peckham ; Ivan van Cleef and Gavin Raubenheimer (23 July 1999) | This route starts about 70m to the left of Pocket City at a huge right-facing corner / open-book that curves off to the right and ends as a large, orange roof higher up. Start about 5m to the right the huge corner at the edge of the thick bush, which restricts access to the corner itself.
12 (40m) Climb up the juggy face tending slightly to the right and heading for the right-hand end of the large, orange roof above. Pass the overhang on its right then move back left above the roof to belay on a good ledge.
