Some finger sized trad needed for the top.

Gets the stars only for the conclusion

Quite nice climbing. Rock quality? Standard tibro.

more stylish than the chimney IMO. Crux bolt (3rd?) is a tad too high but otherwise nice.

The start turned desperate after a key rib broke off! Might still go

Tim started first pitch but ran out of energy. I ended up leading the whole thing. Easy moves with lots of exposure. Great fun.

dogged it once with a buggered finger. Must do it one day.

Was trying to find a way around the Caves Route Chimney and ended up soloing this route.

with Adam OS: 31.9.01 I done this a few times since.

After years of hearing how good this route is i did it.What a let down,only 1 good pitch of climbing.1 star for the 3rd pitch, the rest is crap. A nice day out with Bill though.

Did first 3 pitchest then rapped, no gear on first pitch!!

Would be better if the bolts were in the right places. Ledge-fall from the crux wouldn't be fun Good moves.

Nice climbing but what an abortion of the bolting.

The crux is some nice chimneying & most importantly protectable. would have done it but there was water running thru it so I backed off. Another day.

With Craig

Thought I had done this earlier, but looking at it today, I went up it, the crux was an interesting overhang.

Short, but clean.

Wicked exposure + hairyest abseil in Qld

Ground-fall territory!

One very steep spot for a 9?

Climbed during the caves route. Easier route for the seconder.

Interesting enough.

With Torbjorn & Tina. He lead Ps 1-4, I lead P5.

After getting my gear back from Prometheus II, I then solo'd up this one, bit go'ey at one point but otherwise straight forward.

OS 3rd pitch. Mark lead the rest. Very sweet climbing
