Routes in Mount Cactus

A bold, strong lead up the outstanding crack line at the left end of the huge cave.

1. 40m (16) Follow the crack, and sometimes the left wall, to a large ledge. The rock is better than it looks and improves as you get higher but has a touch of sea-cliff uncertainty.

2. 20m (-) Up awkward mega-jugs to a tree-filled gully. Scramble up gully to summit.

Well to the right of the huge cave and below the slabs of the descent route, is a steep band of rock leading up and left.
