Cool little adventure with the access, Not the best climbing . Lots of scary iron stone (best done on twins) . But probably one of the most picturesque aspects in mountains. 3 Raps, 4 pitches. 2:40:43 C2C

Great to knock this over on my second attempt. Super thrutchy throughout the 2nd pitch. Definitely need to remember to take a number 6 Camelot if I do this route again. Can be done with a 5, but it is horrible shuffling it up the offwidth. Also a smart move to take a set of nuts for building the belay at the top of the 2nd pitch.

Great climb. As is often the case at Piddo, the hardest moves are just off the deck. (note to self: Don't lay back start. Do it face on). Fun fiddling with bolt plates on below average stance before traversing right. Ran it out up head wall (easier and. Probably safer for me than fiddling with gear) . What Blueys climbing is all about.

NOTE: When you arrive at the ring bolt anchors at the top of the climb. There are some carrots further up. For convenience and safety reasons , it is probably best to set a static from the carrots, rap down between the routes to the belay ledge. Be sure to keep bouncing so you can get to the belay ledge after getting below the overhang.
