Celestial Wall, Sport climbing | theCrag

Blessed with afternoon shade, 'Celestial Wall' offers multipitch sport climbing in an amazing, exposed position. Standing in the carpark, Celestial is obvious as the gobsmacking bright orange swathe of steep blocky rock on Tibro's SE corner. Even though it's sporty, don't forget where you are - take helmets, prussiks, and a healthy dose of caution! As for gear, all routes in this sector are bolted with fixed hangers, so 12 quickdraws will do it, along with the usual slings and screwgates. It's possible to get away with one 60m rope and two ropes allow you to get down from any rap station (via multiple abseils). The most straight-forward descent is by rappelling down Clemency from halfway house. From halfway house, look for the tree with a fixed line leading down to a set of anchors. With a 60m rope you'll get down in three raps - 30m, 30m, 20m. Always tie stopper knots and carry prussiks when abseiling here!
