★★ Stele Breeze 20

The catch-cry "if it's got a runner it's not bold” applies to both pitches, with P1 in particular having ankle-breaking potential without the retro bolts. Start as for 'Metal Fatigue'. With Roark's agreement bolts were placed on P1 to protect against a ground fall, however these were subsequently removed.

1. 45m (20) - Up past the two flakes, then up on scoops. Before you reach the corner traverse left past a bolt (as for 'Solantic') to DBB as for 'Equilibrium'.

2. 40m (20) - Spot the bolt runner on the skyline at about 2 o'clock. Diagonally right for 10m to a small area of broken rock. Continue to the bolt runner (placed on lead by Rick McGregor on the second ascent). Straight up left of the white water streak (RPs at half height) to easy ground. Diagonally right to double bolt belay on a broken ledge shared with 'Metal Fatigue' and 'Counterbalance'.

3. 45m - as for 'Metal Fatigue'.

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.
