★★ Route from Wedding Cake to Cape
![]() | 300m | ||||
What a day! Slept under the stars at the lookout the night before. Rapping at 6:15. Route finding all went well. Didn't feel like we were slow, but must have been as we didn't get back to the packs at the top of the rap gully till about 10:15. Trudged back to the car because of forecast rain. Said rain did arrive, so ended up driving back to Hobart as well. Mega day!
Stegasaurus was nowhere near 55m the way we did it. Maybe because we skirted around a couple of pillars to find the "squeeze through to the big spike" bit. Worked well. Chimneys were ok and protectable with slings. Especially if you're tall enough to reach the first spike before comitting to the step across. Little Jaycar walky talkies were super helpful. No problems with comms all day. |

![]() | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really good pitch in a great position. Found it on point for the grade, and good pro. Probably felt a little harder due to backpack etc. Initial split is way bigger than fist sized, but can be protected with small cams on the left face. I used a full double rack on this pitch, but am a wus.

Great fun! The tree down low could do with a little prune, but the climbing sneaks around it well. Two large movable blocks just before the top out on the second pitch. One is sitting on the last chockstone in the chimney, the other is to the right. Big tall thing you want to bridge off. Be wary. Hard to not use either of them.

Did the first pitch via the variant up the front of the ridge. Great it you like climbing stacks of Lego blocks or jenga towers. Would go the corner next time. Second pitch had some nice moves, but also marred by putting gear behind detached blocks to try and avoid a runout off the belay. Lead both pitches.
