Attempted during quick stop over in Alice Springs. A bit steep for me to give a committing attempt with one pad and being solo. Two pads should be good for next time.

Fantastic climb for the grade, but
Lots of loose blocks.
Went to pull the anchor and realised on of the pieces (omega link cam #1) had been pushed into the crack and over cammed, spent 1.5 hours on the ledge in the sun, attempting to removed it to no avail. If anyone makes it up before i get up there again, and manages to remove it, i would be eternally grateful for it’s return

be careful of some very loose rock at the start, then the quality of the rock and the climbing improves once you start traversing

funky! good protection can be found if you look around, and the traverse isn't as tricky as it looks
