Route in Deliverance

Located on the ground approximately 25m R of "Tristar", it's the best middle grade multi-pitches on Mt Stuart. A decent route with nice rock and brilliant views overlooking Townsville. The first and the last two pitches are sensational. There's plenty of good pro and some exciting moves. It's a great intro climb to the Mt Stuart area and can be top roped and split into two pitches. The last two pitches can be strung into one pitch but watch for rope drag and the sloping ledge.

Best accessed via rappelling down from rusty chain to P2 Chains and then again down to bottom of cliff.

1. 25m 18 Climb the sustained black R-leaning corner/slab, steepening at top to gain a ledge with small tree. Natural belay.

2. 13m 16 Up the groove to gain sloping ledge. Chain belay.

3. 12m 10 Traverse L past corner with FH (The Fifth Wind) and down around nose to belay below obvious V corner and arête. Beware of huge death block in traverse.

4. 20m (18 crux) Strenuously up steep crack in arête to where it finishes. Step L around arête to gain another corner then up to sloping ledge.

5. 30m 17 Climb straight up steep headwall to gain a ledge then continue up to final ledge and belay. Alternatively, traverse right once at fixed hanger to rusty long chain (rap station).
