Mount Victoria Area Bardens Lookout Jean Genie Area | ||||||
24 | ★ Cave Route | 10m, 4 | ||||
Crux just before first bolt then big moves on good holds for two bolts. No "jumping" required for me. Goosebumps is the better option I reckon.

★★ Dirty Rotten Pig

barnacle
| 130m | ★ Good | |||
Really enjoyed the first pitch with a good variety of climbing. Second pitch probably had the hardest moves but not sustained and shorter then the first pitch. Third pitch was the easiest, could knock a couple grades off and I don't think anyone would question it. Final pitch no giveaway at 14. I'd say 'trad 14'.

I didn't mind this. I see why it gets 14 and also see why people think it's a sandbag. Obviously 2nd to clean.
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Strange Karma | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Still seems like a softy, especially when compared to the routes around it.

22 | ★ Train Travel | 16m | ★ Good | |||
Actually quite fun. Plenty of jugs. A bit wondery at the start but doesn't detract.
Be very cautious of the big choss block just past the last bolt to the left held up by the most unlikely looking handle/table leg thing with a crack right through the middle (in fact avoid it, climbing right of it is just as easy). |
