Begehungen in Belougery Spire

Good addition to the bungles . Approx 30m of new climbing. The finger crack is great. The adventure begins on the approach.

Prometheus is Bound no more - we freed that motherfucker!!!!!! Holy dooooley this was a coming of age climb. My most gnarly to date.

18 hour mission - left camp at 8am, back at 2am. Type 1,2,3 fun, all in a day - 30 degs and sun does that. Only 2L water each, big L (defs sun stroke vibes). 2 parties of 2 but we sorta shared gear so ended up being kinda a 4.

I swung leads with Sam (side note - STOKED I got to send this together with him, my first climbing friend in Sydney, and before he leaves for the other side of the world!) and we went well. Couple of linked pitches meant I had the gnarly traverse pitch 6 that is not for the faint of heart. Haz lead Ashton and went a high line, which the guide specifically warns against, so Sam and I decided on a lower line. I was going well, foot jugs and pro for 7-8m around the corner then my line turned a pro-less 18 with thin holds and fuck that - talk about the fear of god! Back climbed, went up and followed Haz's line which was dece. Next pitch was night fall and on run out choss blocks so I shat brix, but yelled the loudest I ever have on a climb (and thats saying something) when I got round the arete to solid rock and placed a bomber cam and nut. I don't know what that feeling was. Rest was smooth up, beautiful, serene gratitude for it all.

The descent was on brand for the day. couldn't find the rap to save our lives (lol eventually did), but made the rap longer and harder for ourselves and bashed back to camp. The relief, accomplishment, commeradarie, stoke, fatigue, confusion and elation was all evident. I don't even know but in love with the story.

I FUCKING LOVE THE BUNGLES.

CHEERS FELLAS THAT WAS ANYTHIN!!!!!

A brutal introduction to the Bungles. The approach and descent were arguably much harder than any of the climbing!

I completed this climb in 2 long pitches. Rope drag was noticeable but not the worst I've experienced.

Descent down the abseil gully in the dark was difficult. And finding the "easy descent" after the second abseil was very difficult, with numerous false starts. The descent after the second abseil is to the left (facing the wall) and you should re-emerge on the ledge that you start Endeavour Face/Vertigo on. We ended up leaving some tat on a tree to safely lower ourselves, which was then returned to us a couple of days later by our new friends at camp who smartly climbed and returned during the day!

what an absolute MISSION this climb was. ever since seeing Dyl and Lee on it, the same time last year, we knew we had to Do it. it just looks at you when walking up from the carpark, its a must do for anyone brave enough. with Khush And Sam in the other pair, the 4 of us set off around 8am for the mega line climb of the weekend, with the hot sun coming up, it was going to be a long day. bashed around and finally found the start about 1030 I think. as Ashton wasn't leading I had to do every pitch, which was a struggle after a while, but well worth the push on. i was in front so some of the pitches I left gear in the climb for the others to lead on, which helped them, but made us all quiet slw together. first 4 or 5 were pretty good with the pitch 6 traverse being super exposed, I was told I took the line to high but except for the heinous drag, ended quite well. after that I think I did part of Pegesus, some sick corner finger crack, that Ashton really struggled on, but everything else was cruizy. until we got to the top in the dark and didn't remember where the rap was, took quite a while to figure out it was on the other summit. and then 1 hour turned to 2, then 4, then we were at camp at 2am. soo when you're out of water for 4 hours and not thinking too clearly, time just goes on. but all went physically well, and we got up the next day for another one!!

pretty good, Jordan got on his first lead for a while, then I finished the rest in a 55m and 15m pitch. after the epic the day before, getting off was super easy, and got back to camp at like 4pm.

More difficult than expected to find the start but well worth it. Nice easy climbing and good intro to the warrumbungles

Easier and nicer rock quality than Cornerstone Rib. Half day mission. Had to make some real decisions about where to climb, emotional support small nut to protect crux on pitch 3. Linked pitches 3 and 4 to top out right next to the logbook. Careful of the minefield of loose rocks at the top. Description is rather vague compared to sport climbs, it was a unique experience feeling lost while at the top of a 300m spire, rescue techniques would be complicated. Highly recommend!

Less loose blocks than CSR which was nice. Approx 6.5hrs round trip from the hut, climbing as a party of 3. Didn't really see much looking diagonally right on P2 so just went up following the good gear.

Another lovely adventure!!! Excellent, solid rock, with nice blocky slab moves on mostly edges/pulls. Excellent leads again by Rory Hentshel, with Michael 'Monty' Burns linking the final two pitches to take us to the summit! Beware - loose rock and scree for the finish.

Awesome introduction to the Bungles! Approach and descent were sufficiently straightforward. The climb itself had good pro throughout and travelled nicely up the face. So cool to top out and then scramble across to the true summit for magnificent views across the range!

From Balor Hut, we had a 45 min approach, 3hr 15 min climbing, 30 mins at the summit, and 2hr descent and hike back. 6.5hr all up.

Had to bail due to weather conditions.

I knew I was going to climb on Belogery spire from the moment I first laid eyes on it.

This route takes in some dramatic features and amazing positions on what in my eyes is the most striking rock in the park.

Full value all the way.

I like this route more than flight of the Phoenix.

Big loose adventure on a big loose rock 🤌

3rd time up Belougery, fun approach! 3/3

17hr20min car to car

Great first bungles multi

What a crazy place to be, on top of Belougery Spire! Feels like a real mountain.

3am left Sydney, 4pm hiking back to the hut. I’ll take it!

Totally rad. First multi-pitch.

Was super fun, stoked to get on my first multi mission in the Bungles! a little wandery, but fund to lead the top half!! Yew cheers Hazbob was dope fun, got back to camp accomplished at 9pm ahaha

Fun easy way to get to the top of the spire, fun day out

A nice break for some easy exposure. very classic

Beautiful! Last pitch was awesome fun, on e I stopped thinking about the height.

what a great route to introduce khush to the Bungles. we definitely started right but as the whole wall was quite easy we may have wandered into Vertigo a little but that's fine as it was a great climb, Loved it. hoping to do a lot more at the bungles, all over this place!!!
