8 | ★★ Route from Wedding Cake to Cape - with Rach | 300m | ||||
What a day! Slept under the stars at the lookout the night before. Rapping at 6:15. Route finding all went well. Didn't feel like we were slow, but must have been as we didn't get back to the packs at the top of the rap gully till about 10:15. Trudged back to the car because of forecast rain. Said rain did arrive, so ended up driving back to Hobart as well. Mega day!
Stegasaurus was nowhere near 55m the way we did it. Maybe because we skirted around a couple of pillars to find the "squeeze through to the big spike" bit. Worked well. Chimneys were ok and protectable with slings. Especially if you're tall enough to reach the first spike before comitting to the step across. Little Jaycar walky talkies were super helpful. No problems with comms all day. |
||||||
18 | ★★ Jihad - with Rach | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really good pitch in a great position. Found it on point for the grade, and good pro. Probably felt a little harder due to backpack etc. Initial split is way bigger than fist sized, but can be protected with small cams on the left face. I used a full double rack on this pitch, but am a wus.

Great fun! The tree down low could do with a little prune, but the climbing sneaks around it well. Two large movable blocks just before the top out on the second pitch. One is sitting on the last chockstone in the chimney, the other is to the right. Big tall thing you want to bridge off. Be wary. Hard to not use either of them.

Great route in a mindblowing location. Did both variant pitches. Gear recommendations in the guide were on-point (from someone who likes plenty of gear). Took an extra black totem which did get placed. Hex's did get used. Had a sit at the sport crux on P2, and pulled on a blindly placed cam to get around the bulge up higher! Otherwise clean. Used a single 70m rope. Extended the last piece of gear in the crack, and the first bolt on P4 after the crack, clipped the next one, then downclimbed to unclip the last one. Drag wasn't too bad and the moves are thoughtful, but ok and the anchor isn't too far away.

First pitch is certainly spooky stepping around the arete straight into steepness. I lead the second. Classic pipes steep mixed bag route up a broken crack system. Jugs, crimps, flared jams, good jams, sequencey feet. Gave it a red hot go, but a foot popped unexpectedly and whipped onto a black totem. Seems to always be the black! From there on it was anything goes as the rain was starting and my arms were pulped.

Really great adventure. Rock and climbing was better than I expected. Baked in the sun most of the day. Make sure to take plenty of water. Took double rack from black Totem to #1, extra #0.3, single #2 & #3, hex's, nuts and found this to be almost perfect. Plenty of slings. Maybe just the way I did it, but the bit off the first big ledge felt pretty spicy for a 14.

Nice way to finish and top out. We split it into two as the rope got caught in a groove and the drag was horrible. | 120m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very worthwhile. Full height routes like this, with no bolted belays and requiring some thought for the descent really adds to that "adventure in our backyard" feel. Reinforced for me how lucky we are to have this place so close. Route finding was obvious and the descent was easier to find than we were expecting. Which was lucky as we got back to our packs right on dark. Such a great day.
