I think this route is misunderstood and perhaps that is why it gets some bad reviews and inflated grade - for some it seems that expectation does not meet reality!
This is a naturally protected route - wires and cams. I'm not sure from where people get the idea that it should be bolted or is missing bolts, or is grade 18. The printed guides for the past 40 yrs have it being listed as a natural gear grade 16 ('A Climbers Guide to the Northern Hartley Valley, Penney 1981, The Rock magazine insert 'The Cosmic County Guide' Penney 1988, 'Rockclimbs of the Upper Blue Mountains' SRC circa 1994, 'Blue Mountains Climbing' Carter 2015).
If you go up without gear anticipating bolts then perhaps expect a scary hard time. Take the appropriate gear with you and have your trad head screwed on and then experience the route for what it is "An exceptionally pleasant route up a fine black wall. Fortunately its quite a lot easier than it appears" (Penney, 1981). Personally I found the route to thread it's way up a thin wall linking good move sequences and gear placements - and that it is delicious in it's uniqueness compared to the bolted lines that tease to the right and left.

20 | ★★ Blue Wind - with Tracy Beaglenose, Gavin Voigt | 23m | ★★★ Classic | |||
A brilliant route providing plum vertical stamina crack climbing. Had to fight for it. A bit of laybacking, fingerlocks, hand jams etc. Some really good wire and cam placements, I didn't use anything larger than Gold, and sure wish I'd taken a few more small cams. The bush in the photo was burnt and dead and has been mostly removed making for a more aesthetic and cleaner route. Also gave it a quick brush.

Mad looking route with mad climbing, overhanging about 8m in 30m! Absolutely must do if you're into crack climbing and wading up steep rock. Heel hooks, knee bars, a lie down rest and lots and lots of jams! Used a .75 and 1 at the start, then another 3 #1s, 3 #2s, 1 #3 and 1 #4. Anchors are all the way at the top after the chimney and are on the left.

Good position. Would be a suitable candidate for double ropes, but 4-5 long slings keep the drag down if using a single. We also did a lap of the bolted arete to the right that goes up to the same anchor as BR. Good climbing - maybe 14?
