Description Suggest change

Kuche Kuche (all night long) takes a direct line up the center of the longest part of the upper west face of Chambe. The route was established in a two week push, going ground up, placing over 230 bolts and rappel anchors. This is a well protected route with the exception of the pitch nine 5.8 R. Spacious belays, quality rock and rope stretcher pitches all added up to an excellent fifteen-hour round trip first accent. 

Location Suggest change

To access the base of the climb, it is best to approach from the slabs on the far northern (left) edge of the lower wall. This is the same route the wood cutters use to access the upper terrace. Due to the sizable nature of the approach and climb, it is suggested to set up base camp at the base of the route. 

Protection Suggest change

All pitches and rappels are equipped with 3/8 stainless steel bolts. 18 draws for the longer pitches should do it. Two 70 meter ropes are needed for the rappels.
