Description

One of the lower cliffs at Rumbling Bald, with a variety of more difficult (5.10-12) routes.

Approach

From the car park walk down the hill and look for a washed out gulley that leads up the ridgeline. This is a separate path from the nice manicured track that leads to the right and to the Cereal Buttress.

Follow the washed out path up the ridgeline all the way to the main western boulder field. The path splits at one point, stay high, always following the ridge. When you get to the main boulder field, head straight up towards the cliff line and this should put you right at the Screamweaver area, near Zydigo.

Ethic inherited from Rumbling Bald

Everything goes here, there are bolted routes, traditional routes, mixed routes and bouldering.

Grade Route

On the left most wall of the Screamweaver, 20ft left of Screamweaver. If you are at the Zydigo area its to the left, then head down a little bit.

Climb the broken corner with some large spikes up into the corner of the roof. Some pumpy moves lead out to the corner of the roof, up and over onto easy ground.

Stellar opening moves on a piece of granite flake that looks straight out of Yosemite leads to a varied upper section.

This is generally the first climb in the Screamweaver area you will get to above the boulder field.

Starts 90ft left of Zydigo just as the cliff trail starts to drop away down to where Screamweaver is located. Climb the right to left leaning bulging crack with a crux mid way. Take care not to give yourself rope drag. After exiting the bulge make your way to a ledge, then head left out onto the face and past two chicken heads. A run out slab at the top is made easier by heading left across the easier terrain. Tree anchor with sling.
