I really enjoyed leading the 1st pitch, especially the slabbyness after the offwidthy chimney stuff. Spent both pitches in regret for not reading the route description before hand, and leaving the #5, #6 and #7 cams in the car. Would of been great to have. Can go without though just about. Some big hexes helped. I think the guidebooks 2 stars is more fitting.

feels like a baby sibling to spartan in the bluies, first pitch and all. did not heed local advice and found the roof a bit more cruxy than usual due to spooge nation. biggest piece was #4 and sure its fine, but if you enjoy stress free climbing, bring a #5.

Climbed this at night to avoid the sun, which was quite good other than the route finding being a bit harder. Really had to fight hard to send terminant corner at the end, even on second.

P1 overlap (as for Denethor) is exciting as always... P2 runout to the bolts is a traversing 20+m after the final wire. A fall would be heinous... The answer is classic Booromba, "well just don't fall off!"

Adventurous day out with a torrid approach via a chossy gully.
The opening crux move is rather delicate and definitely harder than a 14. Perhaps some useful feet and hands were lost in the past fires. Second pitch is mostly ascending an enormous flake. One day it will come crashing down, but until then the hands and feet are pretty solid, so protect as little as you are willing. Third pitch has an easier start to the right of the belay before working back left again. The final section is runout friction slab, although the copious lichen and moss meant there was a little less friction than desired. |

Brilliant! Looks rubbish from the ground, but this is a stellar climb. Don't you DARE walk past it. I only brought a few runners, so I ended up having to make the top half ridiculously runout, but it kept it exciting and memorable. Don't think it's over once you've gained the slab (and the initial face moves aren't too hard). Unlike many granite slabs, I found this one varied and creative in it's movement. The ramp-corner-thing is great!
