This is at least a 2 star route. Nicely bolted minus maybe one bolt. Plenty of commitment needed for both cruxes, but very safe with the bolting. I had a rest on both cruxes, with the beta down pat it should go on red point.

Great climb, 3rd pitch is run out with a possible ledge fall at the crux. The booroomba gods should add a bolt to this slab, it would instantly be safe and there is already bolts on other pitches where there was less runout.

What an adventure. I don't think this route has been climbed for 20 yrs. We cleared off plenty of vegetation and dug out a heap of holds. I lead up to the crux but bailed on the runout moves. Oscar lead the crux and slabs above, but with rope drag and fatigue getting the better of him decided to setup a hanging belay before the final head wall. From there it was a cruisie lead (16) for me you to top out.
Could probably still use a bit more cleaning. |
