Description
Return to Gariwerd is a stunning thin crack and face climb on the Eureka Towers which sits further up the hillside from the Eureka Wall. Head up past it and begin on the righthand edge of the Eureka Towers at an obvious, sheer orange and grey face with a crack and striking diagonal slash-marks on the face.
P1: Ascend the increasingly difficult crack until it gives way to face climbing up the slash-marked face (protected by small wires). Ultimately arrive at a stance under a roof with a good natural belay off of a thread and a horn. 5.11-.
P2: Hand traverse straight left from the belay for 40 feet under the roof. The difficulty increases as the wall below becomes steeper and handholds are more spaced. A bolted anchor at the end of the traverse allows for a quick rappel with one rope. 5.10+.
With adequate runnering of gear these two pitches can be linked into one monster pitch (recommended!).
