20 When Pink Bubbles Go Ape

Nice finger crack (gear) to ledge, then three bolts up the corner and arete. DBB.

Mixed trad 15m, 3 Launceston (Cataract) Gorge
20 Death on the Nile

A long abandoned Danny Ng project - recently revived after a scrub, and the addition of a couple of extra bolts and an anchor (located at the beginning of the blankness)…PS there’s no glory jug!!

Climb the detached pillar (stick clip recommended), and onto the face via x2 U’s and x2 carrots. DBB. The originally conceived finish can still be attempted (take a blue walnut, or a .4 camalot) to the SOTT anchor, and is an open project. Go for your life…

20 Thin crack

The thin crack splitting the buttress. Very obvious when walking along the shady side track. The original name and first ascent details seem to have been lost in the mists of time. The crack takes good gear, or could reasonably be protected with a couple of boulder pads to cover up the talus.

20 Rigaudon

Classic corner, but for many the chimney is the crux!

  1. 15m (18) The slick offwidth to the top of pillar eventually opens up into a chimney with some gear at the back. Some people place runners in the first 5m of Ramandan to protect the start of this pitch.

  2. 55m (20) The corner crack is a stellar line, follow all the way to a big ledge just below the top. Hanging belay possible if you only have a 50m rope.

  3. 6m (17) Short hand crack to the top
