World Wall II Rock Climbing

WW2 is a gently overhanging amphitheater with short powerful routes. The rock isn't as solid as at WW1, so holds are prone to breaking. Only a few routes at WW2 are natural (Orgasmatron, Paradise Lost, Pinching the Loaf, and maybe a couple others). The bulk of the routes have been manufactured or reinforced in some way- (you’ve been warned)

Most of these hard routes are difficult right off the ground, and it would be highly advised to stick clip the first couple bolts.

A 60m rope can get you down off all the routes.

The right side of the wall goes into the sun around 12pm and into the shade around 5pm. The left side goes into sun around 10am and into shade around 2pm.

Since the 2013 fire, WW2 has undergone some renovations. Orgasmatron and the Sickness have been retro bolted, although because of rock quality at the top, the Sickness doesn't have any anchors, but you can traverse and clip Orgasmatron's anchors (or just whip.)

Retro bolting efforts have not been completed, especially on the older routes like Paradise Lost.

Retro bolting was put on hold when the old bridge that provided a walkway over the slab from the right wall to the left wall went out in 2015. And a bridge has been rebuilt.

A lot of the fixed gear was put up in 2014/2015 seasons and some has been replaced on the more popular lines.

There are additional routes listed in guidebooks in this area, but many of these are 30 years old and have been through a forest fire. If the route isn’t listed on Mountain Project, chances are those routes have been abandoned, and it would be advised to avoid them.

As you can see by the grades, there isn't really any good way to warm up at WW2. You can climb Orgasmatron or Derogatory (lower ww2), but that doesn't warm your fingers up for the harder routes.  You may have to get creative. It's not uncommon for people to warm up at the gym before coming out.
