New Boulder Near The Wing Cave!!


With the Christmas holidays on I had some spare time to go searching for new lines around the Wing Cave and Menai area.

Just over the right side of the riverbed about 100 meters pass The Wing Cave is a 5m high 45 degree overhanging highball boulder.

This amazing piece of stone has some great features with a side pull rail running straight up the middle parallel to the sides of the boulder.

It then leads into a scary slopping mantel topout which will leave you feeling full of adrenaline and horrified at the same time!!!

(WARNING) BRING A CHANGE OF UNDERWEAR AS SHITTING YOUR PANTIES IS A HIGH POSSIBILITY!!

Its also recommended that you take at least 3-5 boulder pads and a good spotter because of the landing and height of this thing.

The boulder boasts two lines:
  • Danger Zone V8 (on the right side)
  • Nek Minnit V4 (on the left side)
Eddie Fowke came along to get some sweet photos of the boulder in progress, as well as lending a spot when the shit hit the fan :)
