Nodi in Tonga

in 2019, the last bolt, above the P3 anchors was discovered to have been improperly cured, the glue never hardened and the bolt pulled out by hand. That bolt, as well as the anchors for P3 were replaced just in case.

3 Pitches: 17, 24, 23; Scramble down to a boulder with belayers bolt looking at at P1. Climb out across wet ledges to the first bolts. After clipping the second bolt (in orange rock) return to unclip the first bolt (in black rock) to save drag on the pitch. Following a rising traverse over the churning sea to a minor crux traversing a slippery corner at the last bolt, out to belay on the arete.

P2 traverses hard right, downclimbing a short section to access the line of least resistance. Immaculate stone with wild sculpted features leads you up to a belay ledge. There is an extra bolt for safty at the traverse, which should be reversed and unclipped once past.

P3 slips over a bulge with some difficulty, and then easily through the wildly steep (somewhat rotten) cave feature. There is a belay at the tip of the overhang, then one more bolt and several bomber threads to topout on the jungled summit.

The orange cliff to the east of the cave

Fantastic face climbing up bright orange rock. A steeper section down low relents to a good rest at half height before sustained bouldery moves above.

Descend gully on seaward side of Bowl of Cliffs, then rap off Fa trees to find anchor bolts where the good orange rock reaches its highest point. A 30m rap will get you down to the belay ledge. Be careful if you've got a 60m rope.

Note: A traverse has been bolted to allow escape from bottom belay to base of cave via 4 bolts. If there is no rope hung from the established abseil station, you’d need to climb Nautical Nonsense (24) on the North side to top out.
