Start: Below the "interesting looking" crack-cum-corner 100m from the southern extremity of the cliffline. An ancient carrot is visible on the wall at the top of a 10m pillar. Location -33.739221, 150.338145.
10m Up either side of the pillar to a bolt anchor.
18m (crux) A bolt protects the awkward move up into the corner and "piton runners may be placed wherever desired". Move up to block belay under roof.
30m Move right, then up past the tree, up short wall then left along ledge. Up the wall once more to belay on broad ledge.
18m Up the broken wall, across wide ledge, then up final 10m to the top.

Sublime Point is an old climbing area, with many routes dating from the 1950s and 1960s. Aid and mixed climbing was the fashion then, and the easier routes can be pretty bold for a modern climber. In the last 10 years there have been a lot of well protected sport routes added. This has been seen as controversial by some climbers who consider the crag a 'mixed' climbing venue.
