description

A variation finish to Sunstroke up the slab and headwall right of the final pitch. Although reported in Thrutch number 64 (September 1974) it wasn't recorded elsewhere until 2015. As a result it’s had few ascents and is marred by too much lichen. There are old bolts to mark the way but not really usable (or needed) with modern gear.

Start at the final (third) belay on Sunstroke. Start up Sunstroke then move right up the slab to below the overlap and old bolt runner. Climb the overlap (crux) and move left around the corner to the next wall and old bolt runner. Up wall to finish over right at the large block. Walk off as for Sunstroke.

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.
