The Homer Tunnel Slabs are 200m vertically above the tunnel portal on the Hollyford side. The crag is fast drying and sports two 200m routes, equipped with bolts and chain belays. The routes run between the prominent water streaks and if combined can give 11 pitches of excellent climbing.
The slabs can be prone to rock fall from broken ground higher on the ridge. Wear a helmet and don’t climb if you can see threatening snow patches above you in springtime.
Both routes are primarily bolt protected but nearly every pitch requires at least some natural protection. Carry wires and cams to #3. Anchors are rigged for abseiling (requires two 50m ropes).
Climb scree and grass slopes to the right of the tunnel (looking up) until you reach rock slabs. Traverse left on tussock and slab ledges, gaining height up grassy gullies only when you are almost directly below and slightly left of the routes. Step back right to ledge and bolts.
