A reasonable, long beginners' climb but it's hard to work out where it goes and it's got quite a serious start.
Start: Start 10m around R of 'Body Bath'. The original description says that it starts behind a pine tree. That was 40 years ago. There is a dead pine tree resting amongst the gum trees where I think this climb starts. There used to be a dead pine tree just L of 'The Long Paddock'.
40m (9) Climb up through an undercut break (crux, there is an old initial initial "M" at this break and poor protection), move R a little then up the buttress to belay on the highest point.
24m (-) Good holds lead up a steep wall to a wide ledge below the overhang. Climb up L of the smooth wall.
25m (-) Move 4m L, then straight to the top.
