This climb needs lower-offs just after the good section. The first bit is pretty nice, but then it just enters mankville, with a festy vertical bush walk, 100kg of rope drag and dodgy rock holding up dead trees. If you are going to do this manky climb, pre-place a ladder so you can skip the last 20 metres of absolute trash.
