Being an easier grade it was possible to avoid the loose rock breaking away and continue up the line. Nice line. Quite run out though 😂

A lot of bolts on this wall, and not sure how good they are - but didn't end up using any trad gear. Some fun slab moves!

couldn't find any gear placements. so just did it as a slab sport climb. bring extendable draws for the first 1/2 of the route.

Basically now a sport carrot route. A #1 friend is comforting to reach 1st bolt, maybe also a small hex for final traverse move to DBB. Nice slab climbing once the route goes straight up.

A hold looks to have come off the crux at some stage - definitely grade 15 now.

A sand bag at 15 even. I think something large fell off that would have made it 13. Not ever worth 5 stars...

Sandbag at 12. No good reason for it to be so runout, considering the protection is crappy mild-steel bash-in carrots (costing $0.60ea from Bunnings)

Slab, slopers and big runouts make an unusually freaky 13!

a sport route deliberately runout...a wank. All the harder routes are properly bolted on this wall. Fun, but would be a dangerous lead near someones limit.
