Leura Sublime Point West Face (Main Area) Middle Cliffs Ben Trovato Wall | ||||||
20 | ★★ Ben Trovato | 150m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
First pitch excellent. The rest not bad either. Awesome exposure and a pretty cool adventure. We stuffed up the end. Finished 4th pitch in the gully and had to go up on some dirty and suspect rock to top out. Still, a climb well worth the effort.
(My last climb in Australia... )

18 | ★★★ On Both Sides of the Glass | 80m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very good. Pitch one is gold. Pitch two a bit less so... I'm not much of a trad climber, so it felt solid. Very exposed climbing on natural gear with enough bolts to keep it safe. If you are not topping out don't bother with pitch 3...

Easy. Not sure why this is a 21. Probably only for the distance climbed...
Still, good face climbing.
