Description
A classic romp up a steep wall on decent rock, finishing with a slab. This is a great way to introduce yourself to the ridiculous ways of the Bungles.
Most parties link pitches 1+2 and 3+4.
15m / 50ft Start left of the faint 'V' and head up to the obvious ledge.
35m / 115ft Stay near corner for 10m and then veer diagonally right to belay on Tourist Traverse (or stick to the corner cracks).
30m / 100ft Avoid small overhang on the left side. Great climbing with good protection. Belay on the block to limit rope drag.
15m / 50ft Cruisy slab.
Location
See map to reach Belougery Spire. Scramble up the gully to the smaller Belougery Pinnacle. Head around the East (right-hand) side of it. Scramble up another gully onto a major ledge, and follow the base of the cliff for 60m (200ft) where you'll find another gully to climb/scramble. When it gets vertical, look for a faint 'V' on an obvious ledge to your left. See birds-eye view diagram.
