Technical going through the cave and onto the headwall, but quite fun

Good to test out some bouldering skills getting into the cave. I used the flake on the right to haul up

Not a 15, but fun nonetheless

Stiff move to the ledge

Quite fun. I managed to avoid using the tree. Plenty of face holds inside the chimney to help with the thrutching

Rock is reasonable for pro. At the top of the left block, slung a thread and traversed right to the chimney lower offs

A few moves are beyond grade 16, but overall a good climb

A good boulder problem. Not overly confident on the slopey crack but good cams and shuffled them along until more face holds appeared. Sling on thread at top then walk out right across crack to gum tree to belay and abseil

A one move wonder with a layback. Used a number 4 and 5 cam to protect the wide crack. Belay at large gum tree up the hill (don't trust the Banksia)

Short climb. Cams in breaks and used a sling on the horn at the top - although it hardly seemed worth it. Carrot belay at top

Good gear and reasonable climbing. The odd hand jam but also some faceholds for feet. Carrot belay at top
