Summary

As the name infers all day sun this area gets hot. Most routes (except Titanium) don't seep after rain, it may be suitable to climb here when you probably shouldn’t be in other areas,

Description

Upon approach you will drop down at the (climbers) Left hand end of the main sundeck if you walk to the right around the corner you will come to the afternoon wall, there is also potential for development at the lower tier go down the gully below the afternoon wall

Access issues

On the main sundeck beware the drop off directly behind you, it is easy to become excited at the sheer awe of this place but remember safety, there may be people on the lower tier we dont want them getting squashed with falling bodies

Approach

As for the Colosseum. Walk up the steep gully that separates Cave Sector and Terrastomp area. Turn Right uphill just past the Maximus roof (GPS -42.514665, 147.726739), then follow yellow tags and rock cairns up and along the ridge line east for 10 minutes. Just as your about to consider that it is too far to walk to bother climbing you'll reach your target. Scramble down gullies to the base of the crag (GPS -42.516543, 147.73201).

Ethic

Bolt everything worth climbing.

History

History timeline chart

Written off years before its inception as too far to bother walking to by the sodden archer and the king line specialist, a fresh set of beady eyes a year later and a ton more psyche and the lounge was born.
