Greatface climb -- pulled briefly on a draw (3rd?) post clipping for piece of mind but rest of the climb went clean. One to go back to for a clean ascent

Keeping with the theme of backing off routes in the Grampians - this route is quite a package. The rock quality and climbing down low is awesome, supersteep, solid and bomber gear.
