Wall of Thugs (upper)

Type
Sector
Part of
Paines Ford

The Steep wall with the big roofs on the left side.
Access is from the Little Lost Wall - head R, south, until you are in the 1080 Gully - there is a fixed line that leads you up to the 1080 belay. To start Typhoon Tongue or the other routes from the traverse ledge you can either traverse across from the 1080 ledge or climb one of the routes on the Lower Wall. Due to the cliff shape and for the complete experience Java Jive and Burn,Hollywood,Burn finish over the top and require a top belay (tree) and the 2nd to follow. Alternatively back clean the route.

Starts 3m right of Intensive Scare. Step off the very end of the ledge and head straight out across roof. 5B. "A definite contender for the most outrageous position at Paynes, wild moves on solid holds the whole way!" Recommend a back belay to Intensive Scare chain for more enjoyable climbing /belay experience. A 60m rope is essential to lower/abseil off the anchors.
