Lovely route with good bolting. Definitely no rap required on approach, just harnessing up and clipping into fixed ropes for a short section. Bit of choss to avoid up the scoops, but interesting movement and a thin-ish 19 crux mid pitch 3.

| 45m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great to get on this classic and lead the whole thing! 2nd pitch not nearly as runout when tou can head round the arete! Last time 70km/hr winds kept me away from all the good holds and chicken heads... this time was super comfy with a carrot just when you need it before the top.
1st pitch can be made better protected, but you might need double ropes to get all the good gear. Easy and obvious climbing though.

BEWARE, one of the anchor bolts shared with Good Fortune is unrecessed and starting to wiggle. This has a thin crux for the grade at 2nd bolt, but hunting around for a few extra holds made a big difference from the last time I tried. Good climbing.

One of the best 23s I've been on in ages. Classy climbing, wouldn't exactly say there's no crux, but the thin sections don't last long. Thanks to Adrian for the suggestion! Lots of bolts, great moves.

19 | ★ Country Special - with Adrian Kladnig | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really really good climbing, marred only by a bit of old school bolting with potential deckout at 2nd and 3rd bolts. Thankfully from secure climbing and clipping positions. Old school 5 bolts plus anchors but damn good climbing at the grade!

Beautiful climb. Pitch 1 plenty of pro when you need it, very easy climbing between. Pitch 2 I totaly missed the bolt on right side of arete, just a sling on a knob and a decent wire, with a really big gap! 60km/hr winds didn't help me think clearly, but I'd love to come so it again not in a gale! Stellar exposure, and moves out of the cave easy with an easy to clip bolt if you look around.

Great climb, very though-provoking but do-able crux. Some seriously thin feet but awesome over the lip. Generally: put a draw through the perma-rope at the badly placed bolt under roof. Then gain lip, reach down and put your own longer draw on it, then keep going.

Bolt placement at crux not fantastic, belayer can, but needs to be agile to prevent you from hitting small ledge. At least 3 ways to do the crux, one does make the fall much better. Other than that, very cool climb! Strenuous!
