The Library
Shade All Day
General
Climbing
Beta

Aspect and Weather

Owing to the passage/gully layout of the crag, there is climbing that is shaded all day, aside from a brief window at midday.

‍

Climbing

The Library is vert with many cracks running top-down and horizontal breaks throughout. There is a good grade spread over the beginner to moderate range but beware that these climbs are technical and will challenge your problem solving ability.

‍

Base

The base is sloping down the gully but has a good flat landing at the bottom around Touching the Void. The Library is quite narrow with climbing on both sides yet often sees parties of 10-15 people comfortably.

Approach

Approach from Tranquilitas, walk passed the Maxi Tents keeping right at the fork. Follow the MTB trail that trends down toward the fence-line. There will be a small wooden ladder/step structure allowing you to climb over the fence. Head over the fence and keep left towards the cliff line. At the cliff there is a wooden deck, the entrance to The Library is 100m left of the deck.
