Description
This face has aesthetic slabs and the lowest angled climbing at Java Dome. The climbs can take most or all of a rope length. Rappels will likely require 2 ropes.
It can be quite warm here during the hottest times of the year. It can be quite pleasant during the colder, sunny times.
The bolting is somewhat sparse in sections, so have your slab skills up to speed. Eds. Note that the bolts & anchors have mostly been updated.
This was a reorganization suggested by a MP.com user.
