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.

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. FA: Mitchell Stewart, DJ McCready & Nathanual Hebbard, 17 Sep 2018 | 40m | |||
