Ascents in Sleeping Indian Wall having Beta

What a weird but stunning day. That's an amazing multipitch with an incredible view over the bay, also cause you are climbing past this big stalactites.

We aimed to climb "Beauty & The Beast" on "Monkey World" Wall but ended up accidentally on this wall, without knowing...

We guess we climbed up over a route which isn't even in our guides. However, in our 3rd pitch we came on the 1st pitch of "MSMD".

The 1st pitch of this route was a beautiful climb along 2 arêtes. Followed by the easy wa walking up access pitch to the next anchor. From here a bit more challenging pitch. And here is, where the beauty really starts. First of all, you climb past the big stalactites, witch the bay as amazing backdrop. Once you get on the last pitch you travers onto the big stalactite. It's a really mental climb. I needed to stay focused on the climb and not the environment, 120 meter above the ground on a free hanging rock feature.

Definitely, I should go here again, but next time with 2 ropes, that makes life damn easier. Let me tell you, it's a bad idea to just abseil with one rope. In the end we abseiled one and the half or two hours in the dark, so start early.

Pitches felt slightly easier than the grade. As proposed we fixed a 60m rope on the belay anchor between P2 and P3, and we brought it up to the intermediate belay of P4 (the last pitch) on the big stalactite then rapped down from the top to this belay, which was a good idea because our rope get stuck in the middle of P4 and we had to climb again a bit !

Wish it kept going. One or two more pitches possible.

A rad adventure into the elevated cave system inside the Sleeping Indian Wall. 3* classic adventure, 2* climbing. An exposed start and burly climbing on P2 had me puffing (might feel more like 7a+ with the exposure and a complete absence of any chalk leading the way) and awesome featured and thought provoking climbing on P3, pitches 1 and 4 are OK but all part of the journey. Rapped off in dark after a late start. 2 x 60m ropes do *JUST reach the ground from anchor at top of pitch 2 despite them going through the trees and you not being able to see if they hit the ground.

Be mindful of monkeys stealing your shit

Has ti glue-ins

2018 titanium bolts

Has ti glue-ins now

Has good bolts.

Not climbed that often, but was a hidden gem when I went there. First pitch technical, second pumpy, then some jugs in the third and a beautiful pockety dihedral at the end

a few dodgy bolts!!

Crazy monkeys stole the previous parties stuff

Lovely pockets and top-top rock

Barely ever climbed. A lot of vegetation and crumbling rock. Beautiful climb though.

Shoulder injury. Left the second rope at the top of the pitch and Matty had to go back for it.

First moves are downwards out of a cave. Cool.
