One can see why the punters don't line up for this. Choose your own adventure, but mine was 4m of concerted tips laybacking before the obvious rest. No time to whip in a smalll cam sight unseen. Easy street after that to the ledge.

haha decent climb but very interesting experience. The climbing is easy with jugs all about, but a bit chossy and my pro was spaced out. issue was no anchors, and we didn't know to top out or not. there was no anchors and on the top there was removable (screw in bolts), that were not there. so I actually traversed on the ledge at like 12-15m (where the book says it ends) and finished the 17 sport next door, and cleaned from there. tiny brassy was my pro for the ledge traverse, a few meters above my last cam haha!

A fun climb to start the day. Spent too long trying to find an anchor after pitch 1. Gave up and made a weird, but somewhat bomber anchor at the start of the bushes in the crack. Actual anchors are up far to the right after pitch 1, at the base of pitch 2.
Large cams (#4, #5) make the second pitch easier, but not unachievable without. Smaller cams fit in horizontal placements for both the anchor between pitch 1 and 2 as well as pitch 2 itself. Can bail with 70m rope half way up pitch 2 from a strong tree if you don't want to top out and hike around and down. Guidebook grade is typical of blue mountains climbing. I'd say it's probably about a 12. |

Wow I barely managed to power thrutc my way up this. Was so close to popping off and so goddamned pumped. Went to place a .5 while laybacking and it was too small so I had to throw it to the ground a-la nickmartino on carbondale shortbus to get a green in before my arms gave way. Also managed to kick out a stopper below me so there was gear flying everywhere
The way I climbed this it felt harder than janicepts but somehow managed to be 1% less of a scaredy cat and managed to push through the thrutchy lie back parts. Still need to place less gear tho |
