Rapped in and toproped out for fitness .... not bad, bit pumpy ...

Route is a bit 'gluey' in spots, and probably could have had less bolts ... imho ...

Rack of wires and approach shoes. Good thing I had cams for a belay...Did it years ago as well...

  
25 ★★ Happy Ending Sport 17m, 8 Blue Mountains Wed 9th Jan 2019
Rope solo to suss out the gear for the proper trad ascent... similarly to the other route here I'd pegged this as a trad route the first time I saw it, although there were some definite vegetation issues that would have needed sorting...

Given that the major crag developer had walked past it for over 2 years and figured it was trad, or an unnecessary sport route (with vegetation issues) I unfortunately figured it would be 'safe' for a little while, given the overarching Blue Mountains ethics of "Don't Bolt Cracks! or potential trad lines" and "Don't Remove Vegetation!".

Fail to see why the rung is at all necessary, for a 'sport belay' a U would have sufficed, and as to it protecting from wet shoes(?) if the 'bottom of the route is running with water'...!?, well maybe one should simply deal with it being wet or wait until it is in better condition... As it is currently, it sets a pretty poor example...

Seems to have adequate gear for the length of the corner crack, and beyond, so will certainly be continuing to try it as trad route... Had to leave a small wire that was hard to get on the way back down ... and a first stick-clipped wire and liner to lower off... Please leave them alone...

May have/probably done it back in the day… but it was pretty much my first lead in a few years… Ridiculously great climb to do it on climbing in to clear and present danger around the arete rather than the contrived thinner face… pulled back onto main face for the end… Hopefully more lead to come…
