Wawa has this huge potential to be the good stomping ground that it once was. The sad thing is there had to be a huge flood to clean it up again and the sadder thing is it's again slowly becoming the place it turned out to be. Soon the boundaries holding the lines of beauty and filth would blur again. To enjoy the place, you have to stay entirely focused on what you're doing, which is climbing. Keeping a framed view of Wawa can give you a healthy perspective on the area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Drifter" (New) Just before reaching "Kambingan" the walk will take you to giant Acacia trees. Beneath the huge trees sits this lone boulder.

1- Unnamed. V2. Sit down start. Stab for the thread through and finish on the nicer holds above. A nice photo problem. FA Sig Fernandez.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Slap Shock" sits just a few meters away from "Kambingan". This boulder holds a slew of the old boulder problems. (1999/2000)

1- "Erotique" V3. Previously unnamed, the route follows a slopey low traverse from a sit down start. Mantle to the pocket above and steer left towards the good holds. FA Dennis Diaz

2- "Slap Shock" V2. Start as "Erotique" but traverse further right and use the huge crack on the boulder's right. FA Dennis Diaz

3- "Piccolo" V1. Start on the crimps below the boulder's spine. Finish with a mantle and just follow the boulder's spine. FA Dennis Diaz

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Kambingan Boulder" holds probably the oldest boulder problem in Wawa.

1- "Ondoy" V3. A previously unnamed boulder problem. Start on the lowest thread through and dyno to the nice juggy ledge and finish to top. FA Dennis Diaz

2- "Hope" V1. Probably the oldest problem in Wawa. It follows the obvious line of jugs to finish above the hole on the boulder's right side.

3- "Roman Holiday" V4/V5. Sent around 1999 or 2000 during a time when boulder pads were almost non-existent around Manila. Start as "Hope" but finish on the face with the crimpers. Mantle out over the slopers. FA Dennis Diaz

4- Project. Start as "Hope" and then steer to far right to finish on the nice flake on the boulder's right face. Mantle out over the slopers.

5- "Jah, Jah,Jah" V1. New line. Stat on the lowest good holds on the boulder's right side. Follow the slopey ledge and mantle out on the slopers on the middle of the boulder. FA Stan Feleo.
