Crag Profile: Gola - NW Zawn End Wall

Details of the crag can be reviewed below. Editing links are present on all routes and inter-route notes

Directions: A little headland on the eastern side of the unnamed deep inlet next west of N.W. Zawn. A steep, clean west-facing wall has a huge cave on its south end (a dent in the coastline with a blowhole) and is bounded to the north by a deep wide chimney/crack which runs the full height of the cliff. Access to the climbs is gained by scrambling down north of the chimney to reach a large platform, 1.5m above high water mark. This descent can also be used for the routes on the North West Boulevard

From the platform scramble down left (facing in) and continue leftward for several metres to reach a good ledge just right of a deep, wide, black corner. Climb steeply on good flakes, trending right at first, then back left, passing a bulge near the top.

26 - Northwest Passage
HVS 5a
Length: 40m
T.O'Neill, G.Moss 16 June '96
Start as for above. Climb down a crack to a narrow shell encrusted ledge (low tide only), traverse this to its end and make a difficult move right to gain a crack just left of the chimney. Climb the crack to a ledge and step into the chimney. Launch out onto the ledge system running across the wall and follow this airily to its right hand end. Move around the corner and climb a short corner to finish. (If the ledge at the start of the climb is under water the crack to the left of the chimney can be gained by traversing in as for the start of the previous climb).
