Well, what an outing! Such a great climb, only let down slightly by pitches 4 & 5.
The rest of the pitches climb on beautiful and varied blue mountains rock, with so many amazing features, with just enough exposure to keep you honest.
Pitch 6 and 7 are standout pitches, and some of the most amazing rock.
