A new moderately graded 5 pitch route has been done at Bare Rock, going straight up to the Boneyard. Might serve as a good warm-up route to access the Boneyard, or a pleasant route in its own right. First 2 pitches are quite steep and the rest is black slabbing. Rock quality varies from excellent to choss and lots in between. Some short sections of superb climbing...worthwhile. Goes to the far right hand side of the Boneyard, and set up to rap with a single 60m rope. Access: from the shipping container, walk straight towards cliff and locate orange tagged track on edge of forest.

Rainbow In The Dark, 120m (18, 21, 19, 19, 18) *    RAINBOW.pdf

  1. 18, 11B. Vertical, slightly overhanging face on big holds. A fun pitch.
  2. 21, 12B. Cruxy crimpy section on steep bulge, then 4 bolts worth of superb slabbing on the best rock on the route.
  3. 19, 10B. Trends right for a short chossy section on RHS of a roof, to gain another tricky section of black slab on good rock.
  4. 19, 9B. More slabby goodness
  5. 18. 8B. An ordinary pitch to finish with a short section of tricky slab on good rock, then easy angled choss to the top.
    FA: Gerry Narkowicz 6/3/16. Seconded Paul Thomson
