Supposedly an easy approach means a bush bash, getting lost and a rap. Very fun route tho and almost worth it.

wouldn't have found the route if it weren't for the lovely locals we bumped into! sketchy approach (what i thought was, at this point in time haha). felt bad when i heard my 'FUCK' echo through the gorge. such a simple line and it 100% deserves the tassie tiger symbol. was in awe for at least two days after

Surprisingly independent variant start. Healthy amount of spice thrown in to keep you on your toes. A #4 camalot works well getting to 1st bolt.

25 When the Fat Lady Sings - with Gerry Narkowicz Mixed trad 10m, 3 Very Good
Patrick Munnings
Sent in full sun, definate ground fall if you came off clipping the 2nd bolt, which is a little scary considering there are no handholds. The rest of the bolting is good and nuts or small cams can be taken for the top if desired. A super quality and technical route.

Think it actually climbs better now the big jug has peeled off. Maybe a little harder, but still close to grade. Keeping off the RH block gives you best bang for buck

I thought it was nice, but the 20 on the shady side is way better. Also, what's up with that last bolt? Run-out to the last bolt, but then it's literally 1m more to the anchor. I put an extender on it.

Unreal. Proper fridge hugging on smear feet at grade 19 is about as unlikely as it gets. Excitingly bolted as well.

A shorter route than im used to writing a crag adventure tale for but this one deserves it. What an absolute feature. Wed jumped on a couple lines at feltham and right man and liked the convenience of the taste tester splitters so we decided it was time to seek out the kind of climb thats worth 2 fixed ropes, a weird squeeze and a 'you run that way ill go this way meet back here in 5' crag search with an imminent storm approaching. We found it in 20 minutes or so and boy was it impressive! Yim onsighted, i flashed. Yim reckons dabbing the main wall at half height is in.. i reckon hes lucky im not a boulderer. We raced to get the draws off and scurried up the hill to sanctity. A fantastic 'supposed to be a rest day' at the gorge to round out the uqmc gangs tassie trip.

20 Gerry's River Traverse Deep water solo 100m Average
Patrick Munnings
What a ridiculous winter adventure! I had so much fun. Starting at the downstream end of Fatman Buttress, and traversing above the water to Gabriel. 4 degree shirtless mornings are not recommended but are now proven to work. Some really great moves along the way as well as some very ordinary and chossy sections. Try not to fall because most of the route is not above deepwater, rather pointy hidden boulders. At high tide some of the foot holds are just submerged but the safety of the route improves a little bit. I will likely not do this again or suggest it as a good idea for anyone else but it was definitely fun.

Pretty tasty. Could & should be a popular route with a good clean & an extra bolt somewhere in the middle section. Got the crux off the deck fine, then had a foot blow on some lichen patch a fair way above the metal spike...gear around the spike held...phew. Nice finish after that part. I'd recommend pre-clipping the first bolt when rapping in.
