★★ Alex's Incisor
Climb’s the buttress to an exposed belay with good stance. From the first exposed belay, the climb proceeds up grove over easy ground to an obvious second rock horn belay below the summit. The finish is directly above the horn belay over a nose of rock (committing but excellent holds) then grove to the summit (Severe, about 70 meters long, 60 meter rope recommended). Alternately, climb as one pitch of 45-50 meters to the second rock horn belay and only use first exposed belay point on the rappel. Descend following the same line as the climb |

Ngumo |
D
Charlie Alpha
A low quality warmup when it's raining and you want to scramble rather than hike Satima. Go 7ish meters up thin projecting bit of red rock slinging horns to grassy area. Continue up grassy area, then get back on rock a little to the left and continue up to base of pinnacle. Belay here. |
VD
★ Just Gonna Send It
Short with a couple fun moves. Start at bottom of South side of reddish rock at base of small grassy slope. Traverse up and left towards good holds on steepest part of face. Get a marginal cam in and sling a few horns, then straight up steepest jugs onto slabby finish to pinnacle of rock. Sling but no rap ring in place on pinnacle. A much bolder second pitch up larger rock across gap looks possible, although gear and rock quality potentially marginal. |
HVS
★★★ Charlie Bravo
A great route with 20 meters of steep juggy climbing, and a 10+ meter runout on slab to finish. Start to right of black water streak on good holds. Make a few moves up to sling horns, then traverse left over water streak where possible. Straight up face until rock gets too mossy, then traverse left around arete. Make sure your last piece is bomber and your belay is tight, because there's no pro until the top, then pull up onto slab. Continue up on slabby face to the right of grassy gully as you run it out to the top. Anchor can be built on a large shallow horn and a mossy crack. Steep scramble off to the right to descend. |
VS
Bubbles
Approach: From Amphitheatre Camp Site in front of the East face of Ngumu Rock, walk uphill toward the base of Ngumu Rock, then walk right up a steep hill, behind a large boulder scrambling around some small boulders at the top of the slope. Bear left heading into Ngumu Rock as though entering the large cleft filled by a huge chock stone boulder at the summit. You should see a large pedestal block on the right. There is a small grassy ledge at the base of Ngumu near two trees, just to the right of the block pedestal. Begin P1 here.
Descent: Rappel from large block at summit 50m (double rope required) direct to base. Beware of knobs and branches when pulling rope. Walk down to the North |
