The first pitch is quite good, but the second is rubbish. Start (crux) in the corner ten metres right of Aitchison's Needle.
12m - Climb the corner crack to a huge ledge.
12m - Traverse right then up to a tree. Scramble to the top.

The ethic at Booroomba is generally staunchly traditional. Most climbing goes either entirely on gear or gear with bolts for those walls where there is insufficient gear to protect climbs. Climbs are occasionally rebolted, but retro-bolting would be considered vandalism of the lowest order.
Overall quality 50 from 21 ratings.
