Vie in Filippine

Classic adventure climbing onsight on an island that hadn't been climbed before... huge expanses of rock available to be climbed. Euwa is the name of a local species of bird...

Nice climbing without bolts... slings and the odd wire.

Route starting with a black hanger bolt, at the far left, goes around the corner.

Walk around the boulder, being careful not to fall off the cliff, then a bolt is in reach before you start climbing the overhang.

Second route from the left, silver bolts, starts on top of the boulder.

Third route from the left/looks like older not so shiny bolts

Forth route from the left, goes up the left side of the tufa

Route fifth from the left, starts up the right side of the tufa

Sixth route from the left, up the slab and reach to clip two bolts, then one hard move to get past the overhang, into much easier terrain.

Newly bolted, seems like it used to be top rope only.

Black bolts right of screwdriver

Climb up easy ledge then onto face continuing up rook direct.

This climb is found on a mushroom boulder 30m before the rook area off to the right.

2 pitches or one long one. Offwidth crack at start. Crux is after the tree.

Follow L crack at start Join EK at the ledge before the crux.

3 bolts medium pro.

Start as for EK and keep going above ledge. Overhanging sustained and exposed.

Starts EK 2nd pitch so trad needed to get up there or climb No Left Turn on El Torre

Hand traverse on a 5.7 section then slight overhang above the first big hole.

Medium pro, slings. Slab moves at the start and power cranks as you get higher.

Approach via the ledge on top of NLT and traverse about 10m R to the base of the climb. Alternately hike to Boogie Wall and scramble down to the rappel anchors and abseil to the base of the route.

Nice new warm up, needs some more cleaning.

Tricky crux around the 10th bolt.

Second Pitch to CTHD. Cruxy 2 bolts from the top. Lower down from here, if you don't want to do the hike back down/

Third Pitch to CTHD. Via the stalactite at the top of the main wall.

Fourth Pitch to CTHD. Through the jungle above the main wall. Not bolted, but easy. Hike down via Slayer wall.

An area classic bolted in the 90's. Shares first 3 bolts with CTHD, then traverses right onto the slab. Pumpy up the tuffa, crux on the face. Can also be climbed as first pitch to CTHD. There is a harder variation, starting slightly to the right, an unfinished project (named "Mirror" - for a reason).

An old line, merging with Haiku on the slab. Only one bolt visible at the lip. Unsure about the exact grade.

Crimpy at the start, pumpy at the top.

Shares 3 bolts with the next 2 routes, traverse L at 3rd bolt to gain feature.

Ends at the same anchors of Destruction.

Climb Destruction to its 10th bolt before stepping R and powering up 'till the route meets with Slayer. Climb through the steep traverse going L towards the obvious stalactite. Keep going L past the stalactite to finish onto the grey prow. There's a small move R then up L to the anchors. The slightly easier variation to the route is to start on Slayer instead of Destruction.

Follow Warhammer but do not step L of the stalactite. Go up and R from the stalactite where Warhammer breaks off to gain a huge slopey ledge then go straight up to finish.

This consistently overhanging jug-fest does not go without a pump. It's right smack in the middle of the wall and is not to be missed. If its reputation as the super-mega-classic of the area isn't enough to get you to climb it nothing will. Also its the best warm-up route in the area.

This extension to Slayer continues past the stalactite above it for another 3 bolts. Don't be put off by the seemingly short addition. The tricky transition from Slayer to Dragon Slayer can be interesting. Be careful when lowering make sure you have atleast 50m of rope.

Climb the first 4 bolts of Slayer then move R. Interesting and challenging.

Technical and thin. Has an alternate 2 bolt L hand finish to 2 rings that is rarely done.

Starts about 4m R of DP. Follow the slopers and slimpers up the wall. Can be finger numbing. Be prepared for some major crimping. (Key hold broke off, upping the grade to a possible 8b?)

Start on the ledge L of the cave on the far R. Follow the line that traverses R and up to the top.

Start in the opening to the R of Slayer Wall . Follow the bolts along the ceiling to the chain.

2 pitches.

Ideal beginner route.

On Lapa Wall directly behind Copperhead.

Top Rope

Located on the gray slab on the very far L of the entire Upper Uling Wall. Good for starting a slow day at Uling.

Left of Early Bird. A bit more of a challenge, specially without breakfast.

Overhanging crack L of 3 Stitches.

The original test piece in the area. A bouldery power fest named after its crux. Be careful with the somewhat high first clip and the move after the last clip - ground fall potential. Avoid the lower boulder on the left to get the full benefit of the experience.

Follows the large claustrophobic crack on the R of 3 Stitches. Good intro into off-width climbing. Definitely something delightfully different if you like squeezing yourself into tight spaces. An adventure climb on its own.

Steep gymnastic fun with a bit of a tricky start.

Starts to the R of the tree near F, follow the crack up to a rest stalactite. traverse L to 1st bolt, follow icecream like rock up to the L to get on top of it. pull through up L to finish near the tree.

Meandering route starts at the small tree and goes up R next to the foot like stalactite.

Just R of SJ up hanging corner finish at same anchor as SJ

R hand curving route to finish at anchors for Powder. Plan your clips well or end up with terrible rope drag.

Steep good long fun weaving through a series of tufas and stalactites.

Up the juggy Tufas and stalactites 2m L of Warlock. 3 bolts, 2 threads.

Follow bolts up to anchors just L of Cafe De Wawa.

Currently the easiest route in this sector of Uling.

Name is because of a loose rock that fell on the FA’s head that caused a bloody split.

Starts on 'Cafe De Wawa' 1st crux and ends after the cave rest on dinuguan’s anchor.

Crag classic with a bit of everything thrown in, jams, pockets, Tufas and jugs. Can be extended to anchor of SMB. Similar difficulty.

Follow cracks and tufa up face to anchors just L of Mars Attacks, 4 bolt, 1 thread. 6b+ variation is a 3 bolt addition starting low on the tufas left of Ina Flores. Climb up and L using the tufas on the face and connect a bit higher up Rainy Season. For an even longer variation, instead of connecting to Rainy Season, stitch together with Cafe De Wawa and finish on SMB's anchors.

A quality easier end route on this wall. Some cool holds on really nice white rock. 4 bolts, 1 thread. Feels more like 5.10a/6a.

Follow crack on R of Mars Attacks and then bolts up R on face. A very interesting line with moves quite different from the usual Uling style right on the second half of the climb. 5 bolts, one sling.

Fun jugging to a hand jam finish, love the hidden gym style thread jug.

Follow the bolts up the crack immediately R of BA and around the big high stalactite that you can cowboy onto before the cruxy L to the anchors. 6bish until then. Unfortunately, crux holds tend to be wet an mossy... Bring along sling to protect the middle, wouldn't trust the old one there.

A long route with flat holds and pinches to start. Ends on a ledge split to a tufa. Crux is the pump.

Named TNG: “Tufa ni George” or something more juvenile if you want because of the end tufa.

Start about 4m right of SC, stay left of the big tufa, then traverse slightly right past the anchor of Bayawak and continue all the way up on the left side of the overhang. Nice exposure on the last moves onto the face to reach the anchor.

Same start as Sunday School, but stay on the right of the tufa. Crux just before the anchor. Can also be continued to the top of SS, same difficulty.

The alternative start to Bayawak, starting under the cornflaky tufa? Grade to be confirmed.

Recently rebolted line on the right of the cornflakey tufa. Pretty mossy at the moment, but with some interesting moves. Grade to be confirmed.

Start as for DBPP just L of the black crack. Follow DBPP for the first 3 bolts but continue directly up the wide white crack and Tufas on L above.

Dirty Black Pumping?? Technical startBoulder just up L of the crack down R of Bulaklak, move R at the break and make a big move off the undercling, around the R side of the stalactite and up to the anchors.

The steep wall R of DBPP to join NIR. The start is a V8 Boulder into some more pumpy climbing. Currently cannot be climbed due to bamboo kiosk below.

An old route, rebolted that was left unfinished by Dennis, Gax and Simon. Still a project. The bolts heading diagonally L across the tufas to the lovely whit rock at crack up the head wall. Currently cannot be climbed due to bamboo kiosk below.

This the 2nd pitch to the Uling Project and starts of the obvious ledge above the R end of Uling Wall.The clean white arete can be reached via an easy scramble on the R to a tree from which a sparsely protected traverse L brings yo to the belay, bolts above this to the lower off.

First on the left. A juggy slab with some cool and some sharp holds. Great beginner route but watch rope length when you lower and tie a not in the end of your rope as its about 31m so a 60m rope will only just make it.

The second on the left. Starts below the overhang, then traverses left. Careful clipping clip 4. Huge (grounder) runout after that, but easy climbing.

Tough through the roof

The left route on the slab on the right. Careful big loose rock two-thirds up.

Last on the right. Technical top.
