An awesome adventure. I led the stegosaur pitch and got very lost trying to find the bolts. Located them eventually and pulled a bunch of rope through, putting my second on belay and thinking he was climbing but really the pitch was much shorter than we thought and because of the rope drag I had only pulled a small amount through, thinking the weight on the rope was him and so we were both sitting there for 10 minutes or so with each other on belay and no one climbing. this was eventually sorted out when Dave led through and had a chuckle at us. We then easily made our way to the pillars. All up it was a 15 hour day as a party of four moving at a fairly laconic pace. We fixed a bunch of ropes which sped things up but just generally had a great time out there.

If you are going to bother roping in for the stegasaurus pitch, make sure you have good non verbal communication systems in place. You will not be able to hear your partner tell you if they are safe or be able to talk to them at all. I would recommend walkie talkies if you feel the need to communicate verbally.
Other than that it is really fun and really easy. Pretty sick exposure!

Be careful finding the path. Follow the notes on the instructions carefully.
Also the stegosaurus starts much closer to the end than you might think. From the final corner there's one false chimney then the one you want. Currently cairned.

On the way back, I soloed up the chimney to the bolts then we both soloed the wedding cake back to the rap anchors, got the rope stuck rapping off rain of terror, then got muddy and gross on the jug up the fixed line in the gully. Ran out of water on the hike out, so we switched to the hip flask. Got back to the car sloshed at 12.20am. I slept well.

Fun little adventure down the cape. Complete with a bit of rope faff, some exposure and an inability to see bolts. Stegosaurus pitch went surprisingly smoothly on the way down, we don't need to talk about the return trip.
Unlike what thesarvo suggests, a 70m rope was not in fact enough to rap down to the ledge below the pillars, though it got me very nearly there, enough for me untie the knots and rap past the end and walk over.

Walked then belayed on scramble to rap bolts. Better to go unroped and carefully for time. Rapped down and walked to cairns. Short break as we had taken 5hr from the start of the first rappel to here. Lost here for 2 hr unsure where the stegosaurus pitch started. The crag description that I didn't read is much more helpful than the guidebook here. Eventually realised the correct way was through squeeze corridor up to very exposed easy terrain. Decided to turn back as time had run out.

It's just scrambling and walking and a bit of abseiling but the views and experience were just amazing. If this was a hike it would be up there with the best of them.
I didn't realise (though in hindsight it's obvious) that we needed to stay high up on the spine of the Wedding Cake and ended up having to backtrack after going too low. This cost us a lot of time faffing around with ropes and anchors and traversing around. In the future, I think I'd only rope up for the downclimbs, and everything else we'll just crawl across carefully. You can't spend too much time up here because the whole trip takes so long as it is. We had already decided to call it a day because it was 1PM by the time we found the rap bolts on the other side, but we abseiled down anyway just to see where we would go next time. I don't recommend taking a backpack, I regretted it the whole trip. Next time we're just taking the rope bag, snacks, camelbak, and some first aid/emergency blankets. The packs can stay at the top of the descent gulley and wait. By the way, how on Earth can this only have two stars? Have people been doing this blindfolded? |

What a day! Slept under the stars at the lookout the night before. Rapping at 6:15. Route finding all went well. Didn't feel like we were slow, but must have been as we didn't get back to the packs at the top of the rap gully till about 10:15. Trudged back to the car because of forecast rain. Said rain did arrive, so ended up driving back to Hobart as well. Mega day!
Stegasaurus was nowhere near 55m the way we did it. Maybe because we skirted around a couple of pillars to find the "squeeze through to the big spike" bit. Worked well. Chimneys were ok and protectable with slings. Especially if you're tall enough to reach the first spike before comitting to the step across. Little Jaycar walky talkies were super helpful. No problems with comms all day. |
