Rock: Large Rock Fall - The Amphitheatre

A large rock fall has occurred behind the Pegasus pinnacle in The Amphitheatre. The rock fall originated from the right side of the gully, and there are now large unsettled boulders from the base of Pegasus to Chad.

There is some damage to the arete of Pegasus.

Take care when walking through the debris field and climbing up the gully, as many loose blocks remain.

Access issues inherited from Ti Point

The crag borders private property so please respect this.

Take note of tide times before you head out as the base of some routes around the Arch area and ‘The Fang’ are below the high tide line. There is an access track around the back of the crag which may have to be used at high tide and also provide access to the top of most routes.

An unusual looking groove with bolts on the right wall. Scramble to the ledge at the base of the groove then climb up the groove, which is steeper than it looks and at the 4th bolt step onto the wall. Continue up past 5th bolt to tree belay.

For an easier option, climb just left of the last two bolts at about grade 17

Climb the block for 3m, then up the chimney to the chockstone below the bulge. Over the bulge and up to easier but poor rock. A good belay can be hard to arrange.

To the right of Shenzy, ascend the offwidth crack through the widening bulges. Requires big gear and exit the crack early on the right to use the belay of "Tashi Deli"
