Recompense 9

More of a bushwalk than a climb. Start at a short crack 20 metres left of 'Vinegar Stroke'.

1. 20 metres - Up the crack then walk right to an easy angled crack and climb this to a tree.

2. 10 metres - Traverse right around the boulder then move left up a tight groove.

3. 15 metres - Up the crack and chimney on the right to a ledge.

4. 25 metres - Easy walking for eight metres then up a slab to finish near the lookout.

The ethic at Booroomba is generally staunchly traditional. Most climbing goes either entirely on gear or gear with bolts for those walls where there is insufficient gear to protect climbs. Climbs are occasionally rebolted, but retro-bolting would be considered vandalism of the lowest order.
