★★ Echidna 19

A classic slab route. Start at the shallow groove below blocks just left of 'Unacceptable In The 80s'.

1. 15 metres (19) - Climb the groove past two bolts to belay on top of the blocks (or continue up the second pitch - take slings).

2. 25 metres (19) - Up and right to a bolt, then move left and up past two more to a ledge. It is possible to belay and rap from the 'Unacceptable In The 80s' anchor (40m to ground).

3. 40 metres - Up easily, trending left to a lichenous closed corner then straight up.

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.
