Description

🧗‍♀️ Never Sleeping Wall
This amazing sector offers great climbing on tufas and stalactites, it is especially suitable for those climbing in the range 6b-7c+. The approach from the parking is minimal and there is potential for more, easier routes on the right.

🔩 New bolting is currently informally banned, but if you can't hold yourself, please get in touch with S.V. Climbing at Tibuktu Hostel. Only use titanium and preferably glue-ins (with pure epoxy only!).

🧗
The first routes on the Never Sleeping Wall were established in Easter 2008. The crag was first developed during a "New Route Tour" organized by British climber Jim Titt (founder of Bolt Products) alongside a visiting group of Czech and Italian climbers. They recognized the massive potential of the 90-meter overhanging limestone shield and equipped the initial wave of classic tufa and stalactite lines.

📈 Development Timeline
2008: The core lines like Tears of Freedom (7a+) and Sweet Dreams Are Made of This (6c) were bolted and freed.
2009–2015: Additional harder extensions and neighboring lines were added, bringing the total to 25 highly aesthetic routes

Access is sensitive!

🔴
The crag is located on private land and the land owner has installed a minimal fence and signs. Climbing is tolerated, but the owner wants to make it clear that he has no responsibility whatsoever.
As always, be friendly and grateful.
