A brilliant and very worthy mini tradventure. I fell off straight away at the start of pitch one, came down from the first piece of gear, ditched most of the rack because it weighed so much, and fired it off. Such a classic and quite feisty pitch, felt quite 23 honestly. Second pitch was a fun ramble, I broke off an enormous footer though and went for an unexpected and exciting one arm dangle. Pitch three is also great; a novel roof crack to start and pleasant layback to finish. Doubles (or triples!!) to 0.5 and singles above that seemed like a good rack. Wires were helpful too. Barely need any quickdraws, maybe four regular ones and two extenders for the roof on pitch three. You can also take one bolt bracket for the belay at the end of pitch two, but it probably isn't necessary. The bush bash off the top also wasn't too bad, definitely faster than trying to rap and walk out normally.

Two bumblies go trad climbing on aussie day! P1 2nd clean after falling off the start once. This pitch is hard and super good. P2 OS Pretty average and not much gear. P3 2nd shot after pumping off the start, not very interesting. Best way to enjoy this route is rap off the tat after P1. Classic if only climbing P1 and you don't have to bush bash off the top.

A very good outing. The start is stiff for the grade, like a hard Frog Buttress 22. I fell off it a couple of times and handed the line to tradgod Neilio After that it backs right off. Second pitch is a very nice corner then left wall. Didn't find it chossy or run out (contrary to other comments). Last pitch is fun and cruisy. Take a couple of yellow and red alien size cams for the first pitch.

Such a fun climb! Starting the first pitch is super tricky.
2nd pitch is fun, easy but slim pickings for gear, a few foot holds broke off.
3rd pitch is where this climb is at, strong move on suspiciously loose holds to pull the rooflet then enjoyable laybacks to the top

A good tradventure. It goes hard, scary, then glorious. First pitch is probably the best "climbing pitch", the start is a single hard pull (hard), followed by nice thin crack (still hard). Pitch two is virtually a solo, very little gear and lots of average rock (not terrible but definitely not great). Pitch 3 is awesome, another hard pull over the lip and the coolest, easy lay back crack (most enjoyable part of the climb, easily). If doing it again I'd take at least doubles of 0.3-0.5 (maybe a few C3s as well), and a single set up to 3 (nothing bigger) and a single set of nuts.

Oh, and the bush bash out was horrific, we definitely missed whatever track there is supposed to be. Bush swimming more like it.
