Awesome! Looks a bit shit from the ground but there is a lot of value in the 2nd pitch. The traverse on P1 is fun and cruisey. P2 - I didnt read that the thin crux was near the top and I thought Id done the thin moves before I got there. Full value slab at the grade. The walk out is also a bit shit too. Felt very lost bush bashing our way out. Followed the cliff line as best as we could until we found a track.

Linked pitch 2&3 with alpine draws for drag, worked well. Rapped with 70m rope from top to belay point top of first pitch, rope didn't quite make it...but made it work (dodgey). an 80m rope would be better for 2 pitch rappel or 3 pitch rappel for short rope to be safer.

Committing with freezing fingers. Good slabbing until the middle of P2. Partner went left through crimps, I went right to reachy holds. Bolt was reachily in the middle of these options. Would probably rap from top of P2 as P3 is short and the abseil of LHC was a tough rope pull

I led 1st & 3rd, John led 2nd. Great traverse on the first and crimpy crux on the second. If you top out be prepared for some proper bush-bashing to get back to the top of the walk-in gully. John didn't bring his approach shoes. Don't be like John.

nice outing. Highlights include clean hand traverse on pitch one, and really balancy but well protected crux on pitch two. We abseiled off, pulling ropes was awkward rd

Nice hand traverse on P1. Cruxy trust the feet type slabbing on P2 for 2 moves. Felt over bolted though

Foggy start to the day, got lost trying to find rap down Jugantor, almost got ropes stuck on rap - turned into a glorious winter day's climbing! The climbing was engaging and well bolted, some pure slabbing high up in a great position in the middle of a grey wall.

Climbed the 1st and 2nd but didn't bother with the 3rd. Can lower to the ground from the top of the second with a 70m. Fun traverse and some great grey rock that gets overlooked these days.

P1 Drew. P2 me. Lovely grey slabbing. P1 traverse was fun. P2 A tough thin bit up high but made easier if you wander just a little.

With Neil. Climbed out at the end of the day with a combination of pack-hauling and climbing WITH packs... Not a reccommended exit, since the Wall Of Tree bush-bash back to the road is harder than the climb (and took longer). P1 - Clean 2nd (okay, easy traversing on good rock); P2 - Onsight (hard start, a few thin and reachy moves, and a rather desperately thin crux section at 2/3rds height); P3 - Clean 2nd (not so good. Ironstone dinnerplates, vegetation and sand). Probably best to bail from P2

Beautiful weather, out warming up the alpine multipitch fever. Fantastic cruisy day with my man Ado. Stellar onsight for the fella, i took a rest at the top pitch and was otherwise psyched with route, fun, well bolted, goodness.
