Couldn't resist another short sport route on the way back to the car after Mr Big on our 'rest day'. Was stoked to onsight a 22 after the multi, but here it's 21 — moves felt a bit hard off the ground, but I guess you only have very few of these in a very short climb, so 21 makes sense. Like a boulder problem.

This is absolutely sensational. Our 'rest day' climb recommended by Mark. That little roof and moving to arete later is the best exposure you can get. SO good. We linked pitches 1 and 2, and climbed with double ropes to get back down to the first belay from the top, and then to the ground. A bit of bush bashing as the QR code in the book gives you the wrong car park — the right one is about 200m further down the road.

Didn't find the walk in track at the top and did some bush bashing and an extra rap to get in (needed to walk further north along the well-maintained walking track after coming down from the parking spot). After that was over with, it was a nice climbing experience. Mostly good gear. The crack is pretty vegetated and dirty though.

Well spaced bolts helps you think about where your feet are for this airy second pitch. Quite nice in the morning sunlight.

This is a solid 19. Surprisingly hard moves near the start to an absolutely stunning finish. Well worth it for the view.

Overgrown, very fragile crumbly rock, really difficult to get good placements. Totally worth it for the view and the belay on the tree at the top, but quite a heady climb with the combo of shit gear and rock breaking away in your hands. With some gardening might be a bit better.

The last pitch is great! Had to back jump (down climb) to clean it, as my partner didn't want to second it!! It was a bit scary, but worked fine. Then we abseiled from ledge of second pitch.

Nice. Top pitch is well worth doing. Anchor is set a long way back so not advisable to lower off (I downclimbed and lowered off the final bolt instead). Otherwise bring up a second and rap off.

Nice. I was looking at the third pitch with interest, looks intense but fun, but nobody else wanted in. It's a feature of this crag (either a negative or positive feature depending on your attitude to climbing I suppose) that there are several very run out sections of rather easy climbing.

I don't know if it was just the way I was feeling or the extremely spoogey conditions, but this thing felt absolutely desperate today. The entire crack and wall was damp, muddy, and coated in dirt, despite that I thought it barely rained the last few days. I rapped down this thinking, this is gonna be amazing and was astounded at how slippery and insecure the entire climb felt. I know it's grade 20, but it literally felt every bit of grade 23 at least in today's conditions. It would be interesting to revisit this when it is totally dry, but it felt like a joke at grade 20 today. I got the onsight in the end, but not really sure how. As far as gear goes, I didn't have a 5, but that would have been nice. Instead, I had 2 4's,a 3, doubles of 2-.75, 3 .5s, 4 .4s, 3 .3s, and a red and green C3. I also had a random offset alien that may have been close to a .2. I probably could have left the nuts at home but did manage to place 2 overall. I had 19 draws which seemed crazy, but I used them all in the end. This thing was epic and would be worth a revisit when dry to see if I was smoking crack today or not. All in all, a great arvo!

Linked the first two pitches which was flowy and honestly feels like the best way to climb them. With two 70's and (un?)wise skipping of bolts, it may be possible (and enjoyable) to link the whole thing, cos we got down in one 70m rap with plenty of rope to spare.

Now that would be rad!
