Description:

Steep slab with slopey hands and bad feet. Nightmare is located just left of the obvious finger crack, Dinkum (5.9) on the south face of Buck's Bar Dome and shares anchors with the Dreamer (5.10c). If you are looking for a good mental, balance challenge, this route is great!

Descent Options:

Walk off, lower or rappel.

3 out of 5 stars best done away from the sun (or as my partner said, bulls***!)

mantle, nub, side pull, step through, lie back, bigger nub, flake, edge, top. (if I remember correctly.)

Very satisfying movements.
