Flora and Fauna: Black Eagles nesting from April to October - Reunion to Stone Needle

Black Eagle Nest in Upper Tonquani

It is with great joy that we have noticed the breeding and nesting of Verreaux's Eagles in a new site in upper Tonquani. For the duration of the season, until 1 October 2020 or further notice, please refrain from climbing between the Reunion and Stone Needle areas as the nest is situated above these climbs and they must not be disturbed.

description

Starts on the west facing rock facing upstream of the buttress where 'The Moke' and 'Right Corner Overhang', etc., are situated. The start is beaconed and is about 5m left of the first red open book (topped by a medium-sized tree). i.e. it is on the opposite side of the river to 'The Moke'.

  1. [17] 40m Start in the deep chimney-like crack in which a large tree is growing (beacon). Continue up easy grey rock to where rock changes colour to yellow-red and steepens. Above are some small overhangs with a break to the right. Climb the break on good holds to a large ledge. Either stop here or climb to the top of the crag up the easy chimney-crack.
