Node in Stud City

Classic old school trad climbing with ample protection to keep things sane.

1. (17) Start at the large tree below the short right trending corner. Climb this to the large hollow flake, then traverse right along this until you reach an open groove. Follow this up to a ledge and belay.

2. (18) Follow hand cracks into corner system. Traverse right on the massive flake (#4), then traverse across the slab for 3 meters to belay on a tussock.

3. (19) Up tricky off-width, followed by smooth finger crack, stepping left onto the face as needed when it gets desperate.

From the top of the last pitch traverse (roped up) about 30m in the direction of sleepy bay carpark. A crawl though some shrubs finds you the rap point. 50m rap to huge vegetated ledge. Another 25-30m rap brings you to the ground from here (100m away from the base of the route)
