Mount Banks
14 Taghairn
Unknown 300m
14 Zireon

The climb goes up the "fairly obvious" line to the right of the main face, or 100m left of a huge triangular yellow overhang (this could be the "map of Africa" choss just right of Groseness?). It finishes just where the third cliffline peters out. Good luck! Any fixed gear would be rusted away most likely.

  1. 18m Start up an awkward chimney then onto the R wall. PR up to belay. 2) 18m Scramble carefully up.

  2. 18m Move easily still

  3. 30m Up a short wall to scrub beneath the prominent corner overhung at the base.

  4. 34m (crux) Overcome the overhang via the wall then very pleasant climbing straight up.

  5. 24m More scrub, up.

  6. 21m Still scrubby, up.

  7. 15m Up in corner, PR

  8. 38m An exposed pitch, leftwards across yellow rock to tree. Up to left BR above tree. Tree belay.

  9. 5m Up scrub.

  10. 9m Up in corner and right.

  11. 9m Up crack on the right.

  12. 21m Up Chimney of upper (3rd?) cliffline.

2 14 20m
3 10 35m
4 15m

Starts behind Mirrorball Pinnacle. 4 pitches. Bolts and gear. Old fashioned 14, may be 17 for sport climbers.

  1. 40m (14) Up rad chimney passing four bolts and good cams on both walls (hint, turn around) to bolt belay on the far side of obvious ledge.

  2. 20m (14) Bridge up through minor choss passing one or two bolts to funky overhanging corner. Climb through this and belay at bolts atop the Mirrorball pinnacle.

  3. 35m (10) Easy right-hand traverse passing the odd bolt and bit of gear to belay on two rings.

  4. 15m Up whichever way looks nicest.

14 Glory Hole to the Grose

If you like chimneys, this is a 3 Star classic. Makes for a great bit of extra climbing if you're already out doing Darkside or something similar.

Bring a double rack up to #4 plus one #5 and #6

Start at the base of the obvious chasm 20m right of Big Trad Thong.

Make your way up the endless enclosed chimney following the obvious formation (eats gear), then about 3/4 of the way up thrutch your way to the chock stones.

Sling a chock stone (whichever feels most solid), then thrutch some more until you are reborn into the outside world.

Tree Belay. As of Nov 2019, the slings and maillon for the tree belay look to be in great condition.
