描述

Emily Gap is the first gap East of Alice Springs and is a popular picnic spot for tourists and locals alike. The climbing is pleasant, generally slabby, and offers easy single and multipitch climbs with good protection on most climbs. A sense of adventure is required due to loose rock, and wandering nature of the climbs. A helmet is highly recommended. The waterhole (if full) also offers a great place to cool off on hot summer days.

准入问题

To climb please Email the ranger at pwpermits@nt.gov.au with AT LEAST one day notice for weekdays and within Friday for weekends. Just state your names and preferably the wall you are going to be.

Emily Gap is situated on Aboriginal land, and is reportedly the most sacred areas in the Alice Springs region. According to legend this is the site where the giant Yeperenye Caterpillar emerged and created much of the local landscape. Climbing is recognised as a permitted activity in the Parks Joint Management Plan for Yeperenye Nature Park (which Emily and Jessie Gap are located in) for routes outside of the gap.

No climbing is permitted in the gap itself.

前往

Situated only 15km East of Alice. From Alice Springs, follow the Sth Stuart Hwy through Heavitree Gap. Take the first turn L, then drive past several caravan parks to a roundabout. Follow the Ross Hwy for a further 10km, Emily Gap is signposted.

行为准则

This is a special area. No bolting, and tread lightly.

所有 传统攀登

描述

More difficult climbing than the rest of Emily, this wall offers sparse protection and solid climbing on solid rock, and often hidden incut holds.

2 M&M's
  1. Start 5m right og the left hand end of the inset arch, climb the undercling crack and follow it righ towards the apex.

  2. Committing moves from the belay off right using the jug then easy diagonal traverse up and right to a small ledge. Belay here or continue 5m to a large ledge.

  3. Whatever you like - moving up the roof corner from large ledge is about a 15 and a touch thrutchy.

3 Candyfloss

This offers a different first pitch to M&M traversing the right side of the large arch up through the roof, about 1.5m from the apex. Sitting belay option just above the apex. From there the climb follows the M&M line for another 2 pitches

Runout start can be avoided by starting up GWTMT and traversing into line (same grade). Originally graded 19, easily worth an extra grade for the top section alone.

20 传统攀登 40m
7 Gumby Wins the Meat Tray

Excellent and steep, sustained headwall. Starting 5m left of the left hand end of the triangle roof just below a piton at 6m. Up past the piton and trend back right to a block at the overlap. Pass the block on it's left before continuing past a 2nd pin and sustained climbing. Solid grade for 19.

Dirty, crumbly climb up the right hand end of the wall. Straight up, can be done in one pitch with a 60m rope. Wear a helmet! Good fun on the squeeze and jam on the boulder near the top.

14 传统攀登 25m
3 Flake and Chips

Thin crack 4m R of CC, in the middle of the arch. Through overhang to join CC. Little to no protection at the crux about 7 metres up. Delicate moves will get you to the flake above where a size 4 cam will save the day. Not for the faint of heart as there is potential for a ground fall at the crux.

首攀: Allan Bartlett, Troy Mustey & S.Conway, 1994

Lat / Long: -23.739121, 133.949727

描述

Check with Parks and Wildlife before climbing. Climb East or West Wall but not in the gap. Climbing is currently banned on Emily Left Side (Krusty’s crack area) as Traditional Owners deem it to be within the Gap

RouteGradeStyleSelected ascents
1 The Empty Glass

Just L of the waterhole are two slabs, with an overhanging wall separating the two. This climb ascends the L one. At small ledge follow the obvious rising zigzag with some tricky moves to a good finger edge and what probably passes for the crux. Then follow centre of slab to top

首攀: David Kirkby (solo), 1995

15 传统攀登 12m
2 Tin Pan Alley

This is the popular black slab to the R of the TEG. When the waterhole is high, this climb may be inaccessible. Otherwise a small sandbar leads to the base. Straight up middle of slab (tricky start). Poor pro, but can be toproped by climbing up the easy arete around the corner.

Summary:
所有 传统攀登

Lat / Long: -23.739436, 133.951232

描述

This area contains Vegetable Wall (the 'hardly worth writing up climbs', which is the short wall immediately in front of the car park and just R of the waterhole. And Carrot Wall, which is the prominent black slab, often used for abseiling from school groups and Emergency Services.

前往

Access to the top is via a track past Vegetable Wall - you have to climb up an obvious corner, or via a gully E of the wall

历史

Carrot wall saw some controversy in 1994 when a local placed two fixed hangers as rap anchors. Not a good idea - CCNT was looking for somebody's blood. Be warned.
