Real cruizy type Operation here, just a meander up the slabs, but did break it up into 4 P so easy to see Chloe, she had a love/hate relationship with this one!!
would smash out 3-4 of these with Dyl I reckon, if we rap on an 80m fixed line, and link/solo a lot of the easy slab sections.

Nice climb, though the cracks were wet from recent rain.
Linked P1/P2 - ran it out along the weakness for the last of P2 rather than traversing left (wet) or doing the variant. Made an anchor near the top of the block from a wire, .75 and 1, after scraping out some of the moss and muck. Linked P3/P4 starting straight up the corner with stems, but couldn't quite reach the pro at the back of the top terrace with my ~60m rope, so I marched back down the cracks and made a sub-optimal anchor in the flared groove. Nick led the last 10m again to put in the final anchors. Gear: double rack + wires, but used less than half of it at any one time... mostly just wires and .75-2. I actually tried to do this climb earlier in the week with Bec, but misunderstood the approach beta and ended up having a bad time bashing through Cocker's gully. |

Was a fun first booroomba and all Trad multi experience. Was an obvious line although to spice it up I went up and over the ledge before p2 belay. Oh also the first pitch was a waterfall which made it that little bit scarier.

I linked pitch 1 and 2 with a metre to spare to the corner belay at the projecting block. Then Chris linked 3 and 4-with some surprise simulclimbing! And there I was thinking my rope was longer than 60m (?)
Are ACT Rock Metres longer than Victorian and Tazzy Rock Metres? |

Great climb in a fantastic location. Split the 3rd pitch at the tree to recover some gear. Heavily ran out the final pitch as I was light on suitable gear (that I could spot!). Would appreciate doubles of mid range rams next time around.

Great climb. Doing it in three pitches (P1/2, 3, 4) seemed to work well on a 60m rope. Less drag for P3 and 4 and it got us to an easy tree belay to top out at with not much to spare. Chris led P1/2 and P4; I took P3.
Found the gear fiddly on the crux of P3 but it could be run-out more than I did. The placements are solid just past it as well. |

Fantastic climb - good views, good rock, good pro (if occasionally run out a smidge). Don't know how everyone else manages pitch 3 without insane rope drag, we ended up belaying on the ledge above the tree because I could barely move. Led all pitches, with Kurt
