Nodes in Jungle Wall

The wall between The Yacht Club & Cracks Wall.

Routes are listed right to left. Most routes have orange name tags at their base to help you find them.

The Official Jungle Wall Spotify Playlist is highly recommended to get you in the zone.

Hardware for this sector was primarily funded through the Kawakawa Bay Climbing group, thanks to the K Bay T-shirt project - designed by Marika Obst and led by Bre Stewart. 121 tee shirts were sold, raising around $2,000, allowing the development crew to establish the initial routes. Further donations and a few regular contributions helped the remaining lines to be established. Ka Pai tō mahi!

Routes listed from right to left.

The featured slab/arete with a fun layback finish. A great warm up.

A hard slab start (recommended pre-clipping 1st or 2nd bolt which can be accessed from the left), leads to a cruxy bulge with optional tree aid. Shares some terrain with Man Cub in order to save the big tree at the base and to keep clear of the trad line (The Jungle Book).

The obvious open book corner that finishes at Mowgli's anchor. Great gear most of the way. Sling the tree at the top.

Fun slab arete climb. Similar to Rohan's Arete, but easier. Starts right of the arete, by the tree.

A bouldery start leads to an easy slab section up to the mini roof. Has fantastic crux moves on slopey scoops, edges and mini-jug rails. Shorter people, or those pushing their grade may want to climb Welcome to the Jungle first to pre-hang the quickdraws. Named after the baby Riroriro (Grey Warblers) that were seen nesting and taking their first flights.

A bouldery start leads to cruisy moves into a great middle section, with a good rest before the final crux finish. Black hangers.

A cool line with fun moves.

Open project. Let the crag vultures loose! The hard extension to Be Like You. Estimated grade 27/28.

Black hangers. The first line established at Jungle Wall. An instant classic. Follows the groove, right of the overhang.

After gaining the ledge, move carefully up and left on the obvious arête. Hard to read moves lead to a few hidden jugs with a surprisingly easy exit up the final slab headwall to finish.

A wild experience in a small space. Stay out of Robin's hand crack on the left for an honest ascent. A tricky ending with hard to solve clues. Pre-placing the quickdraws is recommended, with a med-long draw on the 3rd.

The obvious crack on the left side of the roof. Dedicated to Robin Williams.

The following routes are located about 20m left. Follow the steep trail uphill with a fixed line to the upper tier. Routes listed from right to left.

An adventurous line that snakes around wicked features, with multiple cruxes. Prepare to be hypnotised.

Trad plus 2 optional bolts. The obvious corner cracks. Purists wanting to go full-trad can skip the bolts and finish at the higher anchor (with a double rack up to 4's). Those with a single rack (or double hand sizes to sew it up), can exit early onto the nice slab arête, finishing on the big ledge. Shares an anchor with Kaa's Kingdom.

The beautiful, right-trending finger cracks that finish with a fun boulder problem. A bolt protects the crux. Warning Possible ground-fall potential if you skip the bolt and fall on the last moves.

A fantastic line with multiple cruxes and thought-provoking sequences. Shares the first bolt with The Crow King, then heads up and right.

A great line with three unique cruxes in three different styles. Set with creative use of a crowbar due to the hidden hammer incident.

Great climbing with interesting features and some tricky sequences. Finishes on the starting dyno jugs of the extension 'Bagheera'.

"We're going to need a bigger star system". Continues up from the Baloo anchor. All beta so far involves an all points off dyno! A hard V2 (6A) crux guards the top. Feels hard for the grade until you send, then it's easy - c'est la vie (such is life).

Hope you like mantles.

A fun bouldery start then consistent grade 17 moves up to the 'tree house' ending.

The following routes are located on Manu Prowl which is about 10 m further left. A great photo spot. 'Manu' is the Te Reo Maori name for 'bird'. The route names are inspired by the musical artist, Manu Chao.

The obvious face crack. Less experienced trad climbers should consider a top rope lap (some of the placements can be tricky).

Gear Beta: Large cams for the start. Blue and green Alien cams for the mailbox slot to protect the exit moves, otherwise a medium nut can be creatively used.

Short but savage. A chill start up the layback finger crack leads to triple, consecutive cruxes (V2-V4-V3) / (6A/6B+/6A+). Some serious skills are needed to slay the Congo King.

Closed project, please stay off. The left side of the face/slab arete. Balancey and beautiful.
