24 Mystic Kazoo Direct

Start the climb clipped to the 3rd bolt of (UK). Lower back down to the the ledge to begin. Step right ignoring any holds used in (UK) and follow the obvious drill holes along the arch, pulling up along tight crimps and strange side pulls, eventually moving directly up to the first bolt of (Mystic Kazoo). Finish as for (Mystic Kazoo). (Tricky to do with no bolts).

FA: Jim Lister, 17 Oct 2020

Top rope 15m, 3
21 Mystic Kazoo

Climb the first 3 bolts of UK then pull in to the right and clip the new bolt.

Follow nice crimpy line to next bolt, then technical moves until pulling up into the anchors.

Best to have someone follow up to clean the route, unless you're in the mood for a big swing. (Tricky to do with no bolts).

15 Don't drop me Will!

The line goes up between Number two and Wodka, all the way to the small V at the top overhang. Sit/squat start as low as possible, move to hand size square jug, follow vertical edge to a couple spread out jugs, (be careful I minimised usage of holds from Wodka, we only used one), then crimp up to small overhang and through the small V. Top out is optional but must finish standing ontop of overhang.

Note: If you use no holds from either climb it might be considered a 16.

12 Not Straining Rail

Incorrectly written up as Straining Rail which is located downhill on the Chain buttress. Northwest Vic guide in 2000 only recorded the routes Sze and Drain Pipe and mentioned a few lines to the right of the later on this face.

Very popular beginners climb. Could be Trad but very poor pro. Start in the corner on L (It's cheating to use the big boulder behind you) and then head straight up the wall.
