Nodes in Life of Leif

Access is through private property (plantation and a residence) so please be mindful as the property owners are fine with climbing there so long as climbers respect their property and privacy (house).

Please don't park your motorbike in front of the small lake at the end of the driveway.

Left of 'Natalie'. All slings. Appears to have a two sling extension.

Obvious line behind tufa curtains. The crux, which is well protected, is getting to the anchor. There are two easier second pitches which continue on from the top of this route. Maybe bring a bottle of water and do all three. The belay station for the second pitches is comfortable. All three routes, this one and the two vertically above it, are always in the shade and almost immune to rainfall.

3 bolts, 7 slings. Starts at the anchor/platform of Natalie and goes left. There is a big cave at the top of this route, 40m above the ground, it has a nice view and is a good place to hang out.

Starts at the anchor/platform of Natalie and goes right. It is a bit harder than the route called Luke, which starts and ends at the same place.

Climb up and right, follow blue slings, anchor on right below roof. Top rope is highly recommended for draws cleaning.

Three slings extension. Climbs leftwards through overhang.

Shares the first bold with The Fortress, then climb left. Big jugs and awesome moves up gentle overhang, followed by 3D tufa fun!

Shares the first bold with Kung Fu Panda, then climb right. 3D tufa quest. Has fixed draws all the way. Be ready to climb in all directions on your journey! Up, left, right, and down.

Short and sweet!

Tufa fun!

Pitch 3. 22 metres, 6a. Climb straight up slab/corner, finish in glorious cave room. 7 Slings, 4 bolts.

The perfect beginner multipitch, friendly and fun!

Rapel. 70 metre rope just reaches the ground, from top, tie knots in ends. If using 60 metre rope stop at midway anchor.

Pitch 1 and 2 can be combined into one mega pitch.

All Titanium Bolts.

Up the ladder, into the slabby dihedral, then the left across the tufas towards a steep pumpy finish. Be careful with brittle rock! 9 titanium bolts, 1 sling.

Awesome, fun, pumpy!

Watch out for small breaky holds as new climb, needs some time to settle.

3 Titanium Bolts 8 Slings

Stay left at crux for 7b. Don't go right is 6a.

Climb as one pitch, 28m to the ground from the top. 11 titanium bolts, 6 slings. Take 19 draws, you can get by with 17 if you use the anchors…
