Yoga Retreat on Ubud Wall

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Private Property MORE INFO >>> Trails and rock walls and terraces have been beautifully constructed on this private enclave. The owner, Ira Sachs, however, welcomes responsible and respectful climbers on these walls when there are no private events being held on the property grounds. Please be discreet and ask for permission while passing through the gate. Many private parties, weddings, and gatherings are held here. When this is the case, out of respect for the people paying for privacy at these events, it is best not to traverse through the property to access the Pharoah's Hat or other climbs in the Pharoah's Glen area. The honor and privaledge to access this area is NOT a right, and certainly will be revoked if abused. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

A meditative, yet fun trad climb! Start to the right of the small bush which is to the right of the start for Ubud. Following the dihedral would be possible all on gear, but beware of potentially unstable rock in some sections.

Pitch #1: Climb up a lower broken up section and trend right to a bolt which steers the climb away from the dihedral somewhat. Finger and hand cracks abound between bolt protection. A nice final move through a fun roof leads to a 2 bolt belay. 5.7, 35m.

Rappel the route.

Location 

Looking up from the trail, find the Ubud Wall and hike 5 additional minutes up a stable boulder field. Yoga Retreat starts climbing up the Ubud Wall just to the right (west) of the route Ubud, goes up to the right of an obvious right facing dihedral and through the roof to the top of the wall.

Protection 

QDs for 5 bolts and Set of Camalots from #0.25 - #3. Nuts are optional. 70m rope recommended.
