Wow, one of the best pure-jam cracks in NSW, for sure. Very straightforward climbing (provided you can jam) but bombproof rock, and a wide variety of jamming techniques required. The initial rooflet is actually pretty easy to negotiate, so don't let it put you off cutting a lap on this gem. Don't forget the BD #4s for the top!

Every trip to the Wolgan I have eyed up this crack but today I finally got on it. I didn't have too many problems with the hand crack and pulling through the mini roof. The fist size crack had a couple of hard moves to get established and then the final crack felt a bit run out because I only had one 5 in it but it was easy climbing. Overall a classic route.

The only pitch we managed to get done before the rain started. A bit of a one move wonder with some offwidth to keep it interesting at the top. Takes more big gear (#4 cams) than it looks from the ground.

i lead pitch 1 up the cool looking flake.
chris lead pitch 2 and worked some wizardry managing to place 2 cams (0.3, 0.4 BD), a few small nuts, and clip the 1 carrot. felt so sketchy to me. we had enough after pitch 2 and rapped off on the 2 ring bolts. |

Incredible climb. Crack that kept going with feet outside the crack (on ironstone layers) providing ample rest. Rene led pitch one, and ill have to come back to lead it. Truly like two eternities on top of each other!
I led Pitch 2, which was more on the face. well protected most of the way, but a cactus and funnel-webs started to impose on holds and placements around halfway up. Placed two last bits of gear and ran it out on the top on thin holds that thankfully didn't break. one of my boldest leads so far!
