The Zoo

Type
Part of

This is the first cliff reached after climbing down the rocky step in the track and rounding the corner.
For some climbs anchors may be hard to find and are sometimes well back from the cliff edge. There is one set of bolt anchors (above Transmogrification). For the first few routes anchor to a large boulder. Trad routes in particular are likely to be a little loose.

Climbs the centre of the prominent wall capped by an overhang. The overlap now has a bolt and no longer requires natural pro.

Now has a two-bolt anchor at the top; original anchor was in a boulder about 5m back.

The broad arete. Good wires low down lead to moves on rounded holds and poor protection. Not a sport climb.

Around the arête is this short right-facing corner-crack. Having good climbing with plenty of protection, this route is well suited to beginners. Cam anchors.

A short wall two metres right, with a crack leading leftward. Use it for protection initially and then place a wire in the crack to the right near the arête. Loose rock adds to the excitement, though the gear is OK. At this grade finish up the wall directly. (It's easier if you move right to the arête).

Around the arête is a wide crack to the left of the shrubbery. Clip the bolt near the arête, then move slightly right toward the second bolt and straight up to the top. Cam anchors.

Description for "Elephant Beer" seems wrong (or is in the wrong place?), since it doesn't match the location.
