The Birdcage Area Arrampicata su roccia 10 vie in parete

Avvertimento Attrezzatura fissa: Loose bolt

Three great pitches, varying in style. Start 3 metres right of The Birdcage.

1. 25m (24) A little sparsely bolted but well within the capabilities of anyone up for the next pitch. Trend right following 5 rings to the belay.

2. 12m (30) Very thin on beautiful rock. Up three bolts then right past another two, ignore the direct finish unless you are after a mighty challenge. Onto the grey rock and into belay cave.

3. 20m (23) Lovely way to finish it off. Follow rings up headwall and over the top to rap chain.

First 3 ringbolts of Pitch Black then straight up wall on FHs to high anchors. Crux is right up the top and reputably desperately thin for a move. This route can also be climbed as an easier and safer pitch 1 of Pitch Black if you traverse off right to that route's belay ledge (grade 23).

1. 15m Thin crack to a groove. Up this moving left and up to small ledge below guano stained wall.

2. 40m Move up corner to guano wall, piton for aid to a well defined ledge. Traverse left for until a break in the steepness is reached, up for a few moves then up and left to belay on a tree high in corner crack.

3. Climb chimney behind (probably wet). Awkward exit into easy gully. Stroll up gully and exit to the right - tree anchor.

10m left of the Birdcage. First pitch can be used to access the ledge above.

1. 35m (22) Long ringbolted slab with mossy start. Belay on ledge.

2. 20m (28) Headwall above.

Position Plus!! Corners,face, roofs,slabs... what more do you want!!

Start: Climb Twisted Reality first pitch at 22 (35m), starts 10 metres left of 'Birdcage'. Traverse right across unprotected ledge to belay stance on ledge below overhung corner

Part sport route, part trad route - all adventure. From belay ledge climb the left wall on sinker pockets for 2m, then wander up a series of ledges and mantles (carrots) until the wall steepens and becomes waterwashed (FHs). Get through a mild vegetation band then launch up lovely subtle arete on great rock to reach a landmark corner. Up this (fiddly wires & medium cams) for about 20m to small cave ledge. Clip bolt and climb the biggest jugs in the universe to topout onto black slab and rap chains. A 50m rope should reach the ground from here. 5 bolt plates required plus a reasonably extensive trad trad for weight training. Some parts of this route probably seeps a fair bit in a normal year - but in drought conditions its great.

One great pitch up the guts of the wall - and a pretty rubbish approach pitch. Mostly a sport route - bold climbers may even be able to climb this without any trad. Sane climbers will bring a #1 & #2 camalot for the big flake, and a sneaky #0.75 for a break before the crux. 5 bolt plates required.

1. 15m 20. Climb Partition for three bolts, then head left around corner to ringbolt belay on small ledge (not safe to walk around unclipped). This pitch is all bolts - maybe 5?

2. 34m 23/24. Left from the belay and up bolted wall, past a big flake (cams) then jug heaven until crimp crux trending left. Finish up orange wall with a final mantle onto teeny ledge and double ring lower-off (or belay). Rap back down - this route does not top out.
