Resumen

The Large tiered wall just after the Ravine, with potential for hard trad routes.

Descripción

The Solarium has 3 Tiers:

  • Lower Tier: From river level to the 'Catwalk', the large ledge about 20m up. Around the left hand side of the lower tier is a distinct wall, the 'Sunny Wall'. This wall is identifiable as the vertical wall just right of the large chimney (Weird Sins)

  • Middle Tier: The huge overhanging blocky wall above the Catwalk

  • Upper Tier: A smaller wall above the left hand end of the middle tier.

Restricciones heredado de Kalbarri

The Parks Service are welcoming to climbers, however there are some minor restrictions. Camping is no longer permitted in the Gorge itself, however Z Bend Group Campsite is open to climbers for $8 per person per night. The site is off-limits when booked by school/scout groups, so it is worth calling in advance before making the journey north. Registration and booking can be made at the Kalbarri National Park Visitor Centre on Grey Street, or by phone (08) 9937 1140. Note also that a WA Parks Pass is required for entry.

Ética heredado de Kalbarri

There used to be a "No Swearing North of Northampton" rule. Breaking it, particularly at The Prom, would earn you push-ups as dictated by Remi. A boulder in The Pit derives its name from this now mostly abandoned rule.

P1: Up the wide chimney to tree belay. P2 (22): Up the overhanging wall above (Solarium middle tier) P3 (21): Follow the obvious crack/flake system on the wall above. Belay at the end of the traverse section. P4 (7): The rest of the corner crack

The main line up the middle of the Sunny Wall. Get over the first roof via a cruxy section, before meandering slightly left then right to finish up the highest part of the wall, right of the big hueco/mouth.

Excellent but spaced gear (BD #3s useful).

Traverse out left to reach belay tree and abseil off.

Start behind the tree at the bottom right of the Sunny Wall. Climb up to the ledge and short crack, moving left and over the roof just right of the big hueco. Trend up and left, finishing up two short flakes and into the left hand side of the big bowl. Very well protected. A second pitch of easy traversing will take you all the way to the belay tree. Abseil off.
