Description

Locally known as 'Pantai Siung', this crag is located just above the West end of the beach from which it gets its name. The area consists of 9 blocks labeled A-K. The climbing spots are mostly shaded during the day, although setting up top ropes on some blocks requires sketchy scrambles up hot, sharp volcanic rock. Top rope anchoring spots on these routes also tend to be hard on ropes. The crag can be quite busy on the weekends, especially during the school year.

CAUTION: Although bolted sport routes exist, a significant number of bolts and anchors are heavily corroded and not safe to clip into! The entire crag needs to be rebolted with titanium bolts to better guard against corrosion.

Guidebooks exist amongst some of the locals but these are all in Indonesian and as of June 2016, were not readily available for purchase. Full book (in Indonesian) posted as images on this page.

Getting There

Fly in to Yogyakarta. Arrange through a trusted party (your hotel's office staff, etc) for a private car or motorbike to transport you to the beach. Travel time ~2-3 hours depending on traffic and road conditions. Renting your own car and traveling there is not advised unless you are accustomed to Indonesian driving habits.

You must pay an admission fee per person to enter Pantai Siung. As of June 2016 this was 5000 RPH (about 50 cents) which covers your parking at the beach.

Once at Siung Beach, from the parking lot walk between the shops and shower areas west of the parking lot to some stairs which lead up to the crag. Ask the locals if you're lost.
