Description

A flat-top, small pebble boulder similar to City Slickers in style. There is a few harder balancy slab projects to do, if you're into that sort of thing.

Access issues inherited from Mt Lyell

This is an alpine area so follow all leave no trace principals, keep cleaning and clearing to a minimum and when possible toilet before or after climbing or follow the Tyndalls guideline. Please keep an extra eye out for King Billy pines and other native Tasmanian trees.

Approach

Head up the hill west from Hell or High Water and city Slickers.

Ethic inherited from Mt Lyell

Cleaning of loose or dangerous rock is essential here and some of that requires a bit of force and maneuvering but please avoid chipping or comforting of holds.

Grade Route

Up the arete and all the way along, quite a good warm up.

FA: Moses, 28 Feb 2022

Start standing on the small boulder. The is a tiny crimp for a hand and some smearing for the feet, pull on hold you balance and go for the top. Take the grade with a grain of salt, probably lots easier if you are tall or can slab climb.

FA: Moses, 28 Feb 2022

Sit start under the obvious feature and squeeze or lay back your way to the top of it.

FA: Moses, 28 Feb 2022

Stand start under the over lap and go straight up to the pebble jug.

FA: Moses, 28 Feb 2022

Start as for Fighting rooster but move up to the runnel arete to finish.

FA: Moses, 28 Feb 2022

Start standing under the runnel feature and go straight up it. Much harder then it looks, with small bad holds and high starting feet.
