Nodes in Timber Chute Walls

A continuation of the Lower Baldy cliff, past Solo Gully

Access: From Lower Baldy, cross 'solo gully' (refer to Wolgan Valley guidebook) when you get to the large amphitheatre, and follow the cliff line (dubbed 'Timber Chute Walls' by Joe Friend) for a few hundred metres. The climb starts 10m right of a chockstone archway at the base of the cliff, approximately 100m before the end of the cliff line and Timber Chute Gully.

1. 20m (13) Follow right leading crack up to corner, continue up corner to ledge with tree.

2. 30m (19**) Climb corner/layback crack to change in angle, continue up and left (crux). Continue up and right to belay.

3. 20m (16) Move belay along easy ledge approx 10m to tree beneath slab. Climb slab (runout) to break, traverse to open corner, follow to top.

Descent: A sling was left approx 30m climbers right along the top of the cliff from where the climb finishes. Double 60m ropes will get you to the ground. This rap route appears to follow some of Joe Friends solo route 'Zoroaster' from 1977.
