Bungonia guides 2-Mar-2006 At 11:00:38 AM jonorock

Thanks for the online guide.

Just to let people know. The 3rd pitch of Strangeness and Charm is more like 35m. My 60m rope came up 5m short atleast when rapping this pitch. Woops!!

Also the last pitch of Strangeness and Charm is quite an okay pitch. But is not 45m long. More like 25-30m and there is a double bolt belay with chains at the top of this pitch.

I find the older routes at Bungonia quite daunting. But have slowly started to come to grips with some of the more traditional climbs.

I found Rum, Bum and Gramaphones to be a very good climb. The 1st pitch is just an access climb. P2 is great climbing, all natural, bit runout in places but really good gear for Bungonia. P3. is a bit easier than P2 but the gear is not as good as P2. The final Pitch can be mostly avoided by linking up to Strangeness P5 midway. Give it as go.
