The Circus

Type

At the right hand end of Avian Wall there is a huge overhang. The Circus begins right of the overhang and is bounded by more overhangs further to the right. Access is up twin via ferratas consisting of stainless glued in pegs and runners to fixed chain belays. A short length of steel ladder on the left helps facilitate quick access to a belay. A belay seat is attached to the chain for comfort. The higher routes require two ropes for the abseil or alternatively, two abseils to the ground. The wall is deceptively overhanging so cleaning may be difficult if the second doesn't follow the route. The right via ferrata opens up a cluster of additional routes on excellent quality rock. A helmet is considered essential in this area as breccia knobs often release from the wall above during windy or wet conditions. During times of high humidity or in easterly fog, a lot of the rock develops a black, sweaty appearance and feel and becomes unclimbable, sometimes for days on end. A return to southerly weather patterns and a day of sunshine generally leads to favourable climbing conditions returning.
