Ascents in West Face by Mark Gamble

A quick run up & down to get in shape (he says).

I actually started out to solo Prometheus I, but looking at what I thought was Felp, I started up the wide gully & quickly got off route (if I ever was in the right place to start with). Anyway, for posterity: Start on the RHS of the big gully below the face with the prominent yellow streaks at the top. Up easy gr.1 rock, trending R, following the LoLR, step R across V-groove and continue up steepening rock till holds runout, then 2m R along sloping ledge to aréte, step carefully around the sharp aréte, avoiding loose blocks, into overhanging corner, up this passing a small bush & ledge above. up slightly easier rock above, again trending slightly R till you arrive at the vegetated terrace. L through this to slaby corner on R, & up the slab & bush bash to the tourist track.

Things have cooled down enough to enjoy a sprint up the mountain.

Ditto.

God it was nice to get out again after the intensity of the TAFE exams.

Nice outting.

Went up this time in the middle of a downpour. Had some difficulty getting to the mountain due to local flooding. Just got across the creek behind Mt. Beerburum. Up & down in 1:20 - not bad going. It wasn't raining at the top!

Another nice outing on the mountain.

My first ascent upon return to Ozland - 34 years on, what a terrific ascent, bringing back loads of memories. It was awfull hot, I left it too late in the day = note to self re next time.

Went up this with my Father & my Sister as a 14yr old. This was a pretty big epic day out for me and the mountain the equivalent of Everest.
