description

An ascending traverse between 'Denethor' and 'Vent Crack' with some good climbing, but the second pitch is poorly protected and quite serious at the grade. Start at the left-hand end of 'The Terrace', below a crack 50 metres left of 'Vent Crack'.

  1. 10 metres - Up the crack to a small belay stance.

  2. 35 metres - Traverse right for 15 metres to a small scoop, then climb the wall on the right to a good ledge. Traverse easily right along the ledge to a crack.

  3. 45 metres - Up the crack, then on up the slab above, tending left at the end.

ethic

The ethic at Booroomba is generally staunchly traditional. Most climbing goes either entirely on gear or gear with bolts for those walls where there is insufficient gear to protect climbs. Climbs are occasionally rebolted, but retro-bolting would be considered vandalism of the lowest order.
