description

An excellent and sustained climb straight up the middle of the trunk. Protected with six bolts (hangers needed), wires and cams.

A Western Australian classic and a right of passage for all slab connoisseurs. Tricky move off the ground then cruise up past slots (medium cams) before heading up the trunk proper. A bit run out before the anchor but if you made it that far you will be fine on the runout.

  1. 32m (20): Straight up the slab of the elephant's trunk, with carrot bolts and natural gear. From second bolt, continue past three more bolts to reach overlap. DBB on ledge above the overlap. Rap rings/chains added Dec 2023 courtesy of CAWA. A 60m rope might just get you back down, be very careful our 70m was close.

  2. 30m (17): Continue straight up. No pro for the first 8m. Finish up water runnel at rear of sloping ledge and belay near the bushes. Scramble to top.
