Cheeky run out climbing to the balcony has potential for a leg breaking whip onto a ledge. Nice climbing otherwise.

Sussing out the area, and jumped on this for a taste. Fun climb, especially if you enjoy slab. The first bolt seemed a little far for comfort.

Actually a much nicer way to access the lower right hand side of the cliff than the muddy walk down. Dry, and grippy rock feels much nicer than muddy climbing shoes. Ended up downclimbing it about 6 times that day.

Bouldery start, easy jamming, and a slightly tricky finish when the crack becomes more and more flaring, making jamming difficult.
|
|||||||
15 | ★ Pie in the Sky | 14m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Awkward mantle crux, followed by a big reach to the first available crack, and then lovely jamming from there, getting easier the higher you get.
|
|||||||
20 | ★★ Skating Away | 22m, 1 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Difficult moves at the top of the crack getting onto the slab, then a good rest once you're above that, very delicate slabbing past the bolt, getting much easier towards the finish.
|
|||||||
20 | ★ Digit Dancer | 28m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Nice, delicate slabbing past the ringbolts, then slightly easier slabbing through the fixed hangers above.

I think the topo for this one might be wrong - the bolts suggest climbing right to the weakness before turning back left.
Beat me badly on the slab a couple of moves after the finish of the crack. |

Reachy moves for the hands, a little slabby but with a fun sequence not unlike a gym climb. Once you get to the corner right, it's a total moss fest!

Tried to do the variant (16) on top rope, but failed to even get to the bolt. Couldn't stand up on the slab, no matter what I tried. Maybe coming back when it's more dry. Or after a bush fire got rid of all the moss.

nice route. beautiful cracks/good pro and nice slab afterwards. not keen on leading this one with just that old bolt up the top and slippery slab. would have been a clean ascent if the slab weren't so slippery. it seems like the rock at ben cairn is more slippery than usual. perhaps due to humid weather?

a hard 13? bouldery start. good cams. tricky/scary exit at the top. second ascent on top rope was much better, but still painful/hard.. good crack to practice jamming on.
