Leura Sublime Point East Faces Subliminal Wall | ||||||
23 | ★★★ Subliminal - with Andrew Serack | 92m, 33 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Lead pitch 2.
Pitch 1 starts with a burly crimp traverse that felt pretty staunch for grade 20, then some exciting walking across a footledge for 15m. Pitch 2 has 40m of some of the awesomest rock and face climbing (and mantling) in the Blueys, then a 20m string of jug hauls and mantels between comfy belay caves (sans anchors). At last you arrive at a huge belay ledge from which you can't even see your half deaf climbing partner. |
